@Xaphan what I meant by "protecting people against harmful sects" was those congregations that serve only to brainwash people to become slaves to their leader, or to rip them off of their possessions, or to force them to suicide or to treat them as free goons and hitmen.
In this case, a better measure, from my POV would be to treat organizations as people (which they juridically are) and make them pay for their crimes according to the country's law. But since in most countries religion recognition is an inherited system, it will be very difficult to get rid of it.
