The idea
A branch is a large division of a religion; a schism is the fracturing of an organization; sectarian violence is violence between sects of one religion. A syncretic religion forms by combining others. Fundamentalism is belief in a text's absolute authority.
In practice
New religions arising; others fading or changing.
Where people slip
The chapter's outcome asks hearths and diffusion; unit 10's diffusion types apply.
