Well, you are mostly right. The Sith and the Jedi ARE religious orders. But there is also a species called the Sith that are not Force users or evil at all. But, if i remember correctly, that is how the Sith order got their name, because they took over the Sith planet or something.
Ugh....
The Sith were a race of beings that, as said above, came into contact with the first "Rogue Jedi", and they tought him their teachings of the Dark Side. However, this one and the followers that he would eventually have would make "Sithism" into more of a religion or sect, dwindling the Sith race into nothingness - they would eventually loose touch with their roots and become the Massassi.
Maul was not a "true Sith", (and neither was any Sith who was not of the "Sith" race), because in EU Literature, he was discovered by Palpatine/Sidious sometime before TPM, not trained from birth....
A Dark Jedi was a practitioner of the Dark Side of the Force, but that only: One who hated the Jedi Order and was essentially a "Sith", but not called by that title. A Dark Jedi fell from the Light, while most "Sith" did not ever connect with the Light Side.
By this grouping, we could say that Vader was both a Dark Jedi and a Sith Lord in one, having fallen from the Light Side of the Force and then being taught by Palpatine as a Sith.....

I voted other for Darth Revan, but if I had to choose between the 3 there I would vote for Maul. And kudos to Snake Eyes for his accurate definitions of Dark Jedi and Sith Lords.
