This Organisations, Movements, and Members resource bundle in the Beliefs in Society unit provides A Level Sociology students with a structured and analytical exploration of the diversity of religious organisations and their appeal to different social groups. The PDF summary breaks down the key types of religious organisations—churches, denominations, sects, and cults. It also covers the emergence of New Religious Movements (NRMs), New Age beliefs, and the significance of cultic milieus, alongside explanations for their growth.

The bundle examines how factors like class, gender, ethnicity, and age influence patterns of religious membership and participation, drawing on theorists such as Bruce, Stark and Bainbridge, Glock and Stark, and Davie. The PowerPoint presentation provides clear visuals, theory overviews, key terms, and real-life examples to illustrate trends and theoretical debates. To support exam preparation, the bundle includes connectives worksheets and skills-based activities, such as group classification tasks, sociological scenario analysis, and AO3 evaluation practice. A focused podcast can be access at: , the episode explores why certain groups are more attracted to particular religious movements and how this reflects broader social change.

The question bank features a range of short-answer and extended-response questions, including model essays on topics like “Evaluate the view that the growth of New Religious Movements reflects individualisation in society.” An interactive quiz reinforces key concepts, types of religious organisations, and sociological explanations in an engaging and accessible way. Together, this bundle equips students to confidently navigate and evaluate one of the most detailed and theory-rich areas of the beliefs in society syllabus
