The one unforgiveable wrong is denying the legitimacy of the organization and working against it.

Sedition and treason, in other words.

You want to find an idol, find the person, group, or organization that cannot be insulted without triggering an immediate reaction founded not on the claims but on the very idea that somebody is daring to insult that idol, person, group, or organization.

It's usually met with expulsion from the group.
