A new religious movement (or NRM) is a religious faith, or an ethical, spiritual or philosophical movement of recent origin that is not part of an established traditional denomination, church, or religious body.
NRMs are very diverse both in their beliefs, practices, the way they are organized, and the degree of acceptance by society.
The Cargo Cults are interpreted as indigenous NRMs that have arisen in response to colonial and post-colonial cultural changes, and with the influx of modernisation and capitalist consumerism.
Typically, NRMs are accused of such wayward activities as brainwashing and mind control of their members, accumulation of great amounts of money (and sometimes property), and destruction of family life.
It is certainly the case that some converts to NRMs, zealous in their newfound convictions, choose to emphasize their relations with their new compatriots and not to spend a lot of time with their birth families.
Deprogramming typically involved the forcible abduction of the NRM member, who was taken to a distant facility and subjected to intense psychological and sometimes physical pressure in an effort to “save” the errant family member.
