The Religious Movements Homepage

This could be a really useful resource for all of us, but particularly those who are working on anything with a religious element:

The Religious Movements Homepage- University of Virginia

It is an archive of a site that used to be a live online library. They are in the process of moving and updating it, but it is still relatively recent stuff.

Apart from listings of 200 or so registered religious movements, there is loads of contextual information about religion and cults in general.
