6. Some sociologists believe that religious sects such as the Quaker-based Quiet Ones, who believe the end of the world is imminent and seek to purify their souls by, among other things, abstaining completely from sexual relations, are a product of growing disaffection with modern, industrialized and urbanized living. As evidence, they cite the fact that there are no other active organizations of the same type which are more than 40 or 50 years old. The evidence, however, fails to support the conclusion for ____________.
Which of the following is the most logical completion for the passage?
(A) the restrictions on sexual relations are such that the only source of new members is outside recruitment, so such sects tend to die out after a generation or two
(B) it is simply not possible to gauge the intensity of religious fervor by the length of time the religious sect remains viable
(C) the Quiet Ones group may actually survive beyond the second generation of its existence
(D) there are other religious sects that emphasize group sexual activity which currently have several hundred members
(E) the Quiet Ones are a Quaker-based organization and have no members in the Northeast, which is even more heavily urban and industrialized than Quaker country
