Summary/Abstract: This article deals with classical and contemporary sociological models regarding religious cult and cult group formation. The questions, both historical and theoretical, related to the issues are examined within the conceptual frame built in sociological concepts of culture, social action, social structure, functional integration, power and conflict. The sociological analysis focuses on the religious cult and cult groups as sources of social organization and social mobility of the mass, the social rather than individual psychological factors in understanding and feeling the meaning of life and social identity.
