Thoughts on Religion Timeline

[Sees]

I saw a link to this image within a YouTube video description, thought it would be pretty cool to share and discuss here. Part of me is saying it has been posted here before (if not multiple times) but I forget which thread/s if so. Anyways...

Does this seem accurate to you other than the estimated dating? Anything missing that you believe need be included based on its historical significance and can't be lumped in as is?

An interesting exercise - count how many listed had, or have, a known founder/key-figure in leadership.

Interesting, but they left out Mormonism. I'm crushed. The Baha'i Faith got a mention, and we're bigger than they are.

It's there, top row.

Never mind.

What is a bit odd...it is North American/Purple, yet Protestantism is not European/Green

You're right. Well, so much for the accuracy of that chart. I was actually thinking that it was neat that Mormonism didn't show up as having "evolved" from Christianity. I think the problem with the color-coding is that it does kind of make accuracy impossible.

Pretty neat. Thanks. I saved it.

Great. Thanks Sees! I'm going to print a copy of this.

Same here, saved it as I think it is a great reference. I can remember hearing most of the names but it can be difficult to sorta "place" them.

Too many faiths I know too much about and too many faiths I don't know anything about

I got a few from it that I put in my "need to look up/study queue."

The diversity is amazing, yet the answers are few.

I think it is a beautiful thing...but not sure if I'm understanding you correctly on the latter part. Answers are indeed few or answers which people have grasped/came up with, are few?

Judaism

Kabbalah

Reform Judaism

Goyim.

I believe the area of ancient origin dictated the color. Protestantism and Catholicism are yellow because they sprung from Middle East religion(s). Labeled, "Middle East / Shamanism / 12,500 BCE."

Very cool, Sees! Thanks for sharing.

Peace be on you.
Ahmadiyya-Muslims began @ 1889. Their entry is missing [at least I cannot see that.]

Some of the dates are arbitrary, either too late or too early. Otherwise this chart is pretty decent. Could be more connections there.

I this this is a better clearer chart.

There are absolutely zero pre-mainstream religions on there, and absolutely zero pagan. So much for that.

 

[Aupmanyav]

Oh, really. I did not check it that thoroughly. That requires a big correction, Euro-paganism and paganism all over the world.
