얼마간 종교를 닮았다고 의문시되는 모든 현상은 크게 명시적 종교(Ostensive Religion)와 암묵적 종교(Implicit Religion)로 나뉩니다. 명시적 종교(Ostensive Religion)란, 우리가 흔히 아는 객관적 종교(Objective Religion)를 말합니다. 예를 들면, 말리크파(Maliki school), 예수의 이슬람교 추종자(Muslim followers of Jesus), 열두 이맘파(Ja'fari school), 와하브파(Wahhabism), 시아파(Shia Islam), 수흐라와르디 종단(Suhrawardiyya), 무리디야 종단(Mouride), 메블레비 계파(Mevlevi Order), 샤딜리야 종단(Shadhili), 쿠브라위야 교단(Kubrawiya), 이스마일파(Isma'ilism), 나크시반디 교단(Naqshbandi), 알레비파(Alevism), 티자니 종단(Tijaniyyah), 카디리야 종파(Qadiriyya), 야지디교(Yazidism), 벡타시파∙벡타시교(Bektashi Order), 베르베르 토착 신앙(Traditional Berber religion), 대한예수교장로회(고려개혁/합동총신/호헌/고려/한영[Pentecostal Presbyterian]/웨신/피어선[Neo-orthodox conservative evangelical Presbyterian]/합신/합동보수/개혁/대신/합동[Presbyterian Church in America]/고신/백석[Evangelical Presbyterian]/통합[United Presbyterian Church in the United States of America/United Free Church of Scotland]), 한국기독교장로회(Presbyterian Church in the Republic of Korea/Presbyterian Church in the United States/Church of Scotland)[Neo-orthodox liberal ecumenical Presbyterian], 미국 장로교[Presbyterian Church (USA)=대한예수교장로회 (통합)∧한국기독교장로회], 입정교성회(Risshō Kōsei Kai), 조상 시성(Veneration of Ancestors), 대한예수교침례회(Life Word Mission), 중국천주교애국회(Catholic Patriotic Association)[교황 무류성이 불허되는 공의회주의 독립 가톨릭], 비잔틴 가톨릭(Byzantine Catholic), 마리아 생애 교회(Mariavite Church), 일반 침례교(General Baptists), 유교(Confucianism), 아르메니아 복음주의 교회(Armenian Evangelical Church)[그리스도 합성론 복음주의], 알라위파(Alawites), 성공회 지속파 교회(Anglican Catholic Church), 시리아-말라바르 가톨릭교(Syro-Malabar Catholic)[그리스도 준단의론], 마론파 가톨릭(Maronite Catholic)[그리스도 단의론], 조로아스터교(Zoroastrianism), 민속 복음주의(Folk Evangelicalism), 구가톨릭교 스크랜턴 연합(Old Catholic Union of Scranton), 구가톨릭교 위트레흐트 연합(Old Catholic Union of Utrecht), 기독교대한성결교회, 예수교대한성결교회, 구세군(Salvation Army), 대한기독교나사렛성결회(Church of the Nazarene) 플리머스 형제단(Plymouth Brethren), 예수교대한감리회(Free Methodist Church), 기독교대한감리회·남감리교(Korean Methodist Church/Southern Baptist), 아프리카 감리 감독교회·북감리교(African Methodist Episcopal Church/Northern Baptist), 영국 감리교(Methodist Church of Great Britain), 그리스도 단성설(Monophysitism), 그리스교[Hellenism (modern religion)], 슬라브 토착 신앙(Slavic Native Faith), 바하이 신앙(Baháʼí Faith), 아칸 신앙(Akan religion), 체코슬로바키아 후스파 교회(Czechoslovak Hussite Church), 퀘이커(Quakers), 트런실버니어 유니테리언 교회(Unitarian Church of Transylvania), 만다야교(Mandaeism), 말레이 민속 신앙(Malaysian folk religion), 기독교대한하나님의성회(통합)[Ecumenical Assemblies of God], 기독교대한하나님의성회(광화문)[Assemblies of God]/예수교대한하나님의성회, 독립개신교회[Reformed Churches in the Netherlands (Restored)/Conservative Evangelical Neo-Calvinist Continental Reformed Church], 성 토마스 시리아 교회(Mar Thoma Syrian Church), 그리스도의 교회(유악기파/무악기파), 북침례교(Northern Baptist/American Baptist Churches USA)[Evangelical Baptists], 기독교한국침례회·남침례교(Southern Baptist), 필리핀 토착 신앙(Anitism), 기독교한국루터회·독립 복음 루터교(Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod/Independent Evangelical-Lutheran Church), 비잔틴 전례 루터교(Byzantine Rite Lutheranism)[Evangelical Church of the Augsburg Confession in Slovenia], 마푸체 신앙(Mapuche religion), 시크교(Sikhism), 고의식파(Old Believers), 구력파(Old Calendarists), 경건주의적 신복음주의 동방 정교회(Pietist Neo-Evangelical Eastern Orthodox Church)[Army of the Lord], 국제 사중복음 교회(The Foursquare Church), 단일 오순절파(Oneness Pentecostalism)[참예수교회], 북미 인디언 교회·대령(Native American Church/Great Spirit), 카피타얀(Kapitayan), 안식교(Seventh-day Adventist Church), 언약 안식교(Adventist Church of Promise)[오순절파 안식교(Pentecostal Seventh-Day Adventist)], 회중 교회(Congregational church), 와케파나(Waaqeffanna), 모라비아 형제단(Moravian Church)[Pietist Lutheran Hussite], 샤머니즘(Shamanism)[대종교(Daejongism)/텡그리 신앙(Tengrism)], 메노파(Mennonites), 그리스도 합성론(Miaphysitism)[오리엔트 정교회(Oriental Orthodox Churches)], 개혁파 유대교(Reform Judaism), 민속 그리스도교(Folk Christianity), 동방 정교회(Eastern Orthodox Church) 등 유신론적 종교(Theistic Relgion)나 원효종(Wonhyo Order), 법화종(Beophwa Order), 선학원(School of Zen), 자이나교(Jainism), 태고종(Taego Order) 등 무신론적 종교(Atheistic Religion)가 있습니다.

이와 달리 암묵적 종교(Implicit Religion)란, 발상과 신념과 관습상, 위에 열거된 명시적 종교(Ostensive Religion)와 중요한 면에서 다른 정의를 포괄하는 분류를 말하는데, 신종교(New religion/New Religious Movement)는 이에 속합니다. 그리고 크게는 사이비 종교(Pseudo-religion)[邪敎]와 준종교(Quasi-religion)로 나뉩니다. 사이비 과학(Pseudoscience)이 객관적으로 과학적 이론이나 방법이 아니지만 스스로 명백히 과학인 척 하는 집단을 말하듯이, 사이비 종교(Pseudo-religion)[邪敎]란, 익명의 알코올 중독자(Alcoholics Anonymous), 인간 잠재력 운동(Human Potential Movement)처럼 객관적으로 종교가 아니지만 스스로 명백히 종교라고 진술하는 신종교 집단을 일컫는 말이고, 이와 달리 준종교(Quasi-religion)란, 천도교/수운교, 원불교, 윤리적 인문주의(Ethical humanism), 스포츠, 신으로서 인공지능(AI as God)처럼 컬트(Cult)로서 종교의 어떤 특징을 닮거나 공유하지만 명시적으로 비종교적인 신종교 현상을 일컫는 말입니다.

지금까지 언급된 것 중 명시적 종교(Ostensive Religion)와 준종교(Quasi-religion)는 문제가 되지 않습니다. 하지만 [현세를 부정하는 태도처럼 반사회성의 지표, 형사상의 불법 행위, 황당무계한 사이비 과학 여부 등] 반사회적 종교(Antisocial religion)가 대부분 사이비 종교(Pseudo-religion)에 속하기 때문에 사이비 종교(Pseudo-religion)는 문제가 되는 것입니다.
