Din ve maneviyat alanındaki duyarlıklarla beslenen dini gruplar sosyal hayatın bir gerçekliğidir. Tarikat ve cemaat formunda kendini gösteren bu yapıların bireyler ve toplumlar için önemli sonuçları olan bazı fonksiyonlar icra ettikleri de bir vakıadır. Dini grupların üyelerine sosyalleşme imkânı sunması, yalnızlığı gidermesi ve bazı erdemleri kazandırması, gruba karşı ilgi ve bağlılığı sağlayan etkenlerdir. Bunun yanında, özgür düşünceye ve öz eleştiriye imkân vermemesi, grup dışındaki kişilere karşı dışlayıcı tavırları beslemesi, grup liderlerine tam ve kesin bir itaatle üyeleri istenildiği şekilde kolaylıkla güdülenen duruma getirmesi ise dini grupların en belirgin olumsuz etkileri olarak karşımızda durmaktadır. Bu etki ve fonksiyonlar hakkında ilahiyat fakültelerinde öğrenim görmekte olan öğrencilerin yaptığı anlamlandırma ve değerlendirmeler, onların topluma dini konuda yön verme misyonu ile yetiştiriliyor olmaları bakımından önem taşımaktadır. Bu sebeple farklı bölgelerden ilahiyat fakültesi öğrencilerine anket uygulayarak görüşleri alınmıştır. Bu çerçevede elde edilen verilere göre, ilahiyat fakültesi öğrencilerinin yarıya yakınının dini grupların topluma zararlı olduğu düşüncesine katılmadıkları, yarıdan çoğunun kişiye ve topluma yararlı hizmetler verdiklerine inandıkları görülmüştür. Bunun yanında öğrencilerin yarıya yakını (%44) dini grupların, üyelerinin özgür düşünce ve eleştiri melekelerini körelttiği görüşündedir. Bir dini gruba mensup olduğunu bildirenlerin %60’ının da bu görüşte olması araştırmanın önemli bulgularından biridir.
Religious groups supported by sensitivities in the field of religion and spirituality are a reality of social life. It is a fact that these structures, which manifest themselves in the form of sects and communities, perform some functions that have important consequences for individuals and societies. Providing religious groups for members socialization opportunity, eliminating loneliness and gaining some virtues are the factors that provide interest and commitment to the group. Besides, the most significant negative effects of religious groups are the fact that it does not allow free thought and self-criticism, urges on exclusionist attitudes towards people outside the group, and makes the members easily motivated with absolute obedience to group leaders. The interpretations and evaluations made by the students at theology faculties about these effects and functions are important because they are educated with the mission of giving direction to the society on religious issues. For this reason, the opinions of these students from different regions have been taken by applying them a questionnaire. According to the data obtained from the study, it is concluded that almost half of the students have not agreed with the belief that religious groups are harmful to the society and that more than half of them have believed that religious groups provided useful services to the people and the society. In addition, almost half of the students (44%) think that religious groups blinded the skills of free thought and criticism of their members. It has been found that 60% of those who stated that they belong to a religious group are in this opinion.
