In religious terms, a "schism" is a special kind of division or separation among persons who lay claim to a common faith. That is, a "schism" occurs when persons from the same religious faith disagree about a matter of fundamental importance in their faith -- and act on it, as well. While still having much in common religiously and otherwise, those who suffer from a "schism" can often become violently opposed to those on the other side of the dividing line, given the seriousness of the division at work.
