	List of founders of world religions - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

	New age / jesus
		A large majority of critical Bible scholars and historians hold that Jesus was a Jewish Galilean preacher and healer who was at odds with the Jewish religious authorities (Sadducees and Pharisees), and who was crucified outside of Jerusalem during the rule of the Roman governor Pontius Pilate.
		For most Christians, only the virgin birth and the Incarnation itself are major articles of faith for this period of time before the beginning of Jesus' ministry.
		The majority of Christian laypeople, theologians, and clergy hold that the Bible states Jesus to be divine, to claim divinity, and to claim equality with God the Father.

	Jesus (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		The vast majority of Christian denominations (generally including Catholicism, Orthodox Christianity, and most forms of Protestantism, but not Restorationism) derive their beliefs from the agreement reached at the First Council of Nicaea in 325, known as the Nicene Creed, in the form of the Creed of Constantinople (381).

	Moses - Free Encyclopedia of Thelema
		Moses's greatest legacy was probably expounding the doctrine of monotheism, which was not widely accepted at the time, codifying it in Jewish religion with the 1st (and most important) Commandment, and punishing polytheists.
		The principle ideas behind this theory are: the monotheistic religion of Akhenaton being a possible predecessor to Moses' monotheism, and a contemporaneous collection of "Amarna Letters" written by nobles to Akhenaton (Amarna was Akhenaton's capital city) which describe raiding bands of "Habiru" attacking the Egyptian territories in Mesopotamia.
		But religion's opponents can also discourage further exploration by making debatable assumptions about a text, classifying the intent of the text as immoral, and thereby dismissing the text as unreliable.

	Mani (prophet) Summary
		A strongly moralistic religion, with marked ascetic tendencies, Manichaeism forbids its elite (from whom the clergy is drawn) to marry, engage in trade, slaughter animals, or cut plants.
		A religion that could arouse the interest of such later thinkers as Pierre Bayle, David Hume, and Voltaire must be regarded as one of profound significance for the history of thought.
		He was a religious preacher and the founder of Manichaeism, an ancient Persian gnostic religion that was once prolific but is now extinct.

	Community Development Using Spiritually Based Indicators in The South African Baha’i Community
		Different religions are viewed as several stages in the same overall process of revelation of truth from the same source.
		Different religions are therefore not seen as merely alternative paths that one may choose from, but rather as progressive and complementary parts of a comprehensive whole.
		The fact that many religions were also run in hierarchical fashion with a class of people acting as clergy has actually been harmful to a sense of empowerment at the grass roots.

		I do not agree with some of his views on the history of Islam, but these opinions have nothing to do with basic matters of faith, and therefore cannot be considered the basis for a charge of apostasy.
		Commentaries on the April 10 death list have been published by other CIP founders including M. Zuhdi Jasser in Phoenix, previously a victim of Wahhabi ideological aggression, as reported in TCS, and CIP Canada representative Salim Mansur, a journalist; and here.
		Still, the intent of the April 10 death list was not to clarify religious views, but to intimidate dissenters.

	Book review: Beyond the Clash of Religions
		One of the most puzzling theological questions of our age - how to account for the great number and diversity of world religions and at the same time to acknowledge their similarities - is also one of the most challenging social issues confronting humanity.
		The degree of similarity among the religions at the fundamental level, writes Dr. Schaefer, "provides impressive evidence for the unity of religions." This unity, however, he says, is not subject to scientific proof, nor can it be classified as rational, empirical knowledge.
		All the Founders of the world's major religions have inevitably broken with past traditions; with obsolete outworn forms and institutions… in order to protect the remaining substance of the religion of God and adapt to the requirements of a new era."

	New Religions as Global Cultures: Cults, Sects, New Age, and Modern Spirituality
		By setting new religions within a broad cross-cultural context they assist the reader in recognizing the underlying similarity of concepts that are developing throughout the world to create distinct global cultures.
		New religions complicate this picture...new religions, despite their globality, must fragment existing traditions, recombine with others in new ways, and yet remain true to a very old and very local folk religion.
		The biggest problem, we see, with new religions is that, because they are new, they often lack the built in safeguards which established religions have developed over time.

	[Islam-Online- Europe]
		The goal of the founders is not a syncretistic world religion that embraces aspects of all the religions involved, but a clear differentiation between the religions, and on that basis a struggle for more spiritual presence in modern life.
		The founders declare that there is a basic consensus in all religions about basic values and principles that are already contained in the sources of the religions; therefore, they don't have to be invented for this purpose.
		Looking at the list of people who already signed the declaration of a global ethos, it is interesting that there are very few Muslims among the signatories.

	Buddha Resource Page - budda
		It is this transcendent yet immanent Dharmakaya-Buddha which is taught in certain major Mahayana sutras to be immutable and eternal and is intimately linked with Dharma itself.
		The idea of the marks already existed as the list of the "32 Marks of a Superior Being." What the Buddha added was the teaching that each of these marks is the result of ethical action in the past.
		However, the Central Figures of the Bahб'н Faith caution believers that, as is the case with many Manifestations, it is difficult to say which Buddhist teachings that have come down through history are authentic and which have been corrupted.

	Upto11.net - Wikipedia Article for Zoroaster
		Zarathushtra (Zaraand#952;uand#353;tra), usually known in English as Zoroaster after the Greek version of the name, andZeta;andomega;andrho;andomicron;and#940;andsigma;andtau;andrho;andeta;andsigmaf;, was an Iranian prophet and the founder of Zoroastrianism, which was the national religion of Persia from the time of the Achaemenidae to the close of the Sassanid period.
		Indo-Iranian religion is generally accepted to have its roots in the 3rd millennium, but Zoroaster himself did already look back on a long religious tradition.
		Zoroastrianism was the national religion of Greater Persia, but it was not permanently restricted to the Iranians, being professed by Turanians as well.

	Baha'u'llah's prophetology: archetypal patterns in the lives of the founders of the world religions
		This may be regarded as an attempt to construct a picture of the history of an archetypal prophet-founder, to separate the events that are of essential and eternal significance in the life of a prophet from those that are merely the accidents of the particular circumstances of that prophet's life.
		In the eastern religions, the eschatological event is the end of the age of darkness, the Kali Yuga, and the start of a golden age.
		Even the Bábí and Bahá'í religions, despite their having been born in the full glare of history and being comparatively very near to our present time, are not free of a tendency to some mythologisation of their history.

	The Resurrection and Four Major Religions
		The four major world religions, however, are built on personalities, and of those four, only Christianity claims that its founder is still alive, having been resurrected from the dead.
		Judaism, the oldest of the four, teaches that its founder was Abraham, and that is true.
		Unlike the founders of those three major world religions, the founder of Christianity, Jesus Christ is alive...and is still alive.

	The Big Religion Comparison Chart - ReligionFacts
		Basically, the grounds for a group's inclusion are that it provides a set of teachings and/or rituals that deal with the traditionally "religious" issues of ultimate reality, the meaning of life, and/or how to find fulfillment, spiritual health or salvation.
		In addition, listing groups separately does not mean they are mutually exclusive, nor does grouping them together mean that they are basically the same thing.
		This is not an authoritative list of religions, simply a resource on some worldviews and ways of life that hopefully some will find useful.

		Non-Muslims consider him to be the founder of Islam.
		Muhammad’s denunciation of the Meccan traditional religion was especially offensive to his own tribe, the Quraysh, as they were the guardians of the Ka'aba.
		These are closely related to Islam, and are considered by their followers to be sects thereof, but mainstream Muslims see them as separate religions.

	Message from Matthew may 23, 2005
		The economies of several nations that are major players in the international economy are unraveling from the Illuminati stronghold, and even though the massive fortunes are yet to be dislodged for once and for all, relatively soon money will start trickling down to the areas where it is desperately needed.
		No religion is free of Illuminati infiltration at its peak; no religion is all “right” in its beliefs and rites or, except for Satanism, none is all “wrong”; and no religion in its current structure and creed will emerge as The Church.
		The essence of the founders of major religions—or more accurately, the messenger souls who were sent to tell the truth of God and each godself—is of the Christed energy realm, and none is superior to any other.

	World Religions Religion Statistics Geography Church Statistics
		Knowledge of the source of the statistics, as well as further knowledge of the particulars of a cultural, religious or regional group are necessary for an adequate understanding of the sociological implication of this type of data.
		There are faith groups, churches and philosophies which are NOT listed here, especially smaller groups outside the U.S. Broad philosophies and movements not defined by organized religious bodies are, of course, more difficult to obtain statistics for.
		The database has thousands of broad classifications, religions, branches, individual churches, etc., and most people fit under multiple labels, but no individual can be completely categorized by any of these labels.
