Abstract: One of the important issues of religions is the issue of sectarianism. On the one hand, the fields of the emergence and expansion of sects are multidimensional and complex, and on the other hand, there are numerous systems involved in problem solving. The Studies in the field have shown that most studies have deviated to some cases of the diverted sects the and left the common teachings of these sects. Therefore, in this study, we first describe the common causes of the emergence of sects and, then, use dynamic system and gather the causes of their extention in a diagram and describe the effect of each cause.  Accordingly, the causes of the growth of the sects are simulated and the results of each of the ten-year time horizons are investigated by creating three scenarios. The original amount of sectarianists is estimated at 300,000 people. The highest growth rate is when coercive dealing is on the agenda and the best situation is when authorities focus on vacuuming.
Keywords: Sect, Dynamic System, Systemic Thinking, Religions, Simulation.
