This paper uses Merton's theory of deviant responses to social norms to interpret the action of former political activists in joining new religious movements. Faced with the contradictions of partial success and continued failure of social movement organizations seeking a redistribution of power in society, some political activists deviated from movement means, norms, or both, through their involvement in religious groups. In so doing, they transformed institutional means and norms of the political activist movements
