This chapter discusses the social dynamics of sectarianism, and introduces the main religious groups mentioned throughout the book. It describes special teachings these groups have developed about their second and subsequent generations, and the ways they choose to integrate the new generation. The communal lifestyle provides advantages, but there are still different styles of accommodating children.
