The label describes age and origin and passes no judgement on legitimacy. 2StatusStanding as a Comparative CategoryWell-attestedA standard category in the sociology of religion, adopted deliberately from the 1970s in place of cult, which had come to deliver a verdict rather than a description. 2DirectoryCategoryWell-attestedReligions 1Learn MoreNew religious movements This group gathers new religious movements: religions and spiritual movements that emerged in the modern period, typically in the nineteenth, twentieth or twenty-first centuries, often around a founder, a new revelation or a fresh synthesis of older sources. The browser will find a varied set of movements, ranging from established faiths to small and sometimes controversial groups. The atlas describes each in its own terms, records its documented history, and notes controversy where it is well attested, without either endorsing or dismissing.19th centuryFilter Results8 entriesPlace of OriginAllJapan (3)New York (1)United States (1)DenominationsAllDivine Science (1)Religious Science (Centers for Spiritual Living) (1)Seicho-no-Ie (1)Unity (Unity School of Christianity) (1)ScripturesAllDonggyeong Daejeon (1)Konkokyo Kyoten (1)Mikagura-uta (1)Ofudesaki (1)Ofudesaki (Omoto) (1)Osashizu (1)Reikai Monogatari (1)The Mediums' Book (1)The Science of Mind (1)The Spirits' Book (1)Yongdam Yusa (1)Founded ByAllAllan Kardec (1)Choe Je-u (1)Deguchi Nao (1)Helena Petrovna Blavatsky (1)Henry Steel Olcott (1)Kawate Bunjiro (Konko Daijin) (1)Nakayama Miki (1)Onisaburo Deguchi (1)Phineas Parkhurst Quimby (1)Son Byong-hui (1)William Quan Judge (1)Conception of the DivineAllEmanationist: reality proceeds from an ineffable One (1)Monotheistic: one God (6)Panentheistic: the divine both within the world and beyond it (1)Status TodayAllLiving tradition, practised today (8)Closed Practice StatusAllLiving, and practised in varied local forms (1)Giving Obligation EnforceabilityAllCustomary Norm (1)Kind of TraditionAllNew Religious Movement (3)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 8Cheondoism19th centuryKonkokyo19th centuryNew Thought19th centuryOmoto19th centurySpiritism19th centurySpiritualism19th centuryTenrikyo19th centuryTheosophy19th centurySources1.
