Theses uses differ greatly in many of the writings of professional educators with regard to their definition or terminology, so it is often difficult to actually reconcile these differences.

The third religious group to be discussed will be Heaven’s Gate, Heaven’s Gate was a religious group in which it’s members killed themselves in March 1997, (Davis, 2000).
