The Doukhobors are a Christian group of Russian origin. They were one of the sects—later defined as a religious philosophy, ethnic group, social movement, or simply a 'way of life'—known generically as Spiritual Christianity. They rejected secular government, the Russian Orthodox priests, icons, all church ritual, the Bible as the supreme source of divine revelation, and the divinity of Jesus, regarding him as a spiritually advanced teacher and example to others.
