520 |a New religious movements (NRMs) by definition are oppositional in that they challenge various aspects of the conventional society. As David Bromley suggests, this opposition grows from their low level of alignment with dominant societal institutions and cultural orientations. Benjamin Zeller takes up the issue of opposition by describing and analyzing the differing ways NRMs have responded to science as the dominant epistemology within modern Western societies. As he suggests, a group's position on science reveals its approach to “Western culture, history, and religion” (166)., Zeller focuses on three NRMs—the Unification Church, the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON), and Heaven's Gate—and the stance each takes toward science.
