you shouldnt assume anything (especially if you look at the post counts etc!!
What do want to know? You have asked a pretty broad question.
But to answer your question about "nething" re sectarianism: um, like its exists........
LOL

ok well sorrrrry 4 assuming! (You should never assume, it only makes an ass out of u and me.) No need to take effence, just didnt think it would be one of the more popular forums-my mistake! Neways> Back to religion. would any1 be able to help me out with a proper definition of Sectarianism, and we'll see from there? Thanx xx

agreed that its not one of the popular forums but its still well represented. And no, I didnt take any offence..... (I just dislike sweeping statements as they not "good habits" for this subject!)
LOL

I prefer this defn.
"_a narrow-minded adherence to a particular sect or party or denomination"

but websters defines it as:
The quality or character of a sectarian;
devotion to the interests of a party; excess of partisan or denominational
zeal; adherence to a separate church organization.
