On the basis of a critique of V. Turner's concepts of liminality and communitas, the author discusses the habitat of the new cults, which their adherents justify as means of defense against the danger of a society plagued with moral holes. Fresh wordly liturgies are occupying the territory abandoned by the official churches. The power of God is no longer geographic, but within oneself. The overdetermination of the sacred emerges nowadays not from an objective ritualistic consecration, but rather from the charismatic presence of the group. The sect as a community of the just opposes the church community that comprehends sinners as well as the just. Phenomena such as Conversionism and, as a result, The Second Blessing
