No need to answer... the first two responses got it right.
Just for giggles, here is the Etymology of the word Sect:
The word sect comes from the Latin secta (from sequi to follow), meaning (1) a course of action or way of life, (2) a behavioural code or founding principles, (3) a specific philosophical school or doctrine.
