See Related QuestionsThe original question was simply "What are the different denominations?" and was placed in the Religion & Spirituality FAQ. Since there is already a question essentially identical to that one from a religion standpoint, and since another individual chose to answer from a different point of view, I've chosen to make this a money-related question. See the list of Related Questions, though, for the answer to the original question from a religious point of view.
