Home›New Religious Movement›Conception of the Divine›Monotheistic: one GodBrowse ByMonotheistic: one GodThis page groups religions by how they conceive of the divine, since traditions disagree sharply about whether there is one god, many, or none in the usual sense. Wikipedia notes that Hinduism's many deities, "Deva (masculine) and Devi (feminine)," are often understood as aspects of "the same Ultimate Reality called Brahman," a very different picture from the strict monotheism of the Abrahamic faiths. Browsing by conception of the divine lets a visitor compare how differently two religions answer the same basic question.FactsLearn MoreMonotheistic: one GodSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsOverviewWhat Defines This GroupingWell-attestedReligions founded in the modern era, usually around a living founder and a new revelation or a new reading of an old one. 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.Monotheistic: one GodFilter Results11 entriesPlace of OriginAllAmazonia (3)Japan (3)New York (1)United States (2)ScripturesAllDonggyeong Daejeon (1)Konkokyo Kyoten (1)Mikagura-uta (1)Ofudesaki (1)Ofudesaki (Omoto) (1)Osashizu (1)Reikai Monogatari (1)Shariyat-Ki-Sugmad (1)The Mediums' Book (1)The Spirits' Book (1)Yongdam Yusa (1)Founded ByAllAllan Kardec (1)Bobby Henderson (1)Choe Je-u (1)Daniel Pereira de Mattos (1)Deguchi Nao (1)José Gabriel da Costa (1)Kawate Bunjiro (Konko Daijin) (1)Nakayama Miki (1)Onisaburo Deguchi (1)Paul Twitchell (1)Raimundo Irineu Serra (1)Son Byong-hui (1)State RecognitionAllNew Zealand (1)Origin EraAll1838 (1)1848 (1)1857 (1)1859 (1)1860 (1)1892 (1)1930 (1)1945 (1)1961 (1)1965 (1)2005 (1)Status TodayAllLiving tradition, practised today (11)Closed Practice StatusAllPartly restricted: some elements are closed to outsiders (1)Giving Obligation EnforceabilityAllCustomary Norm (1)Sexuality PositionAllSame-sex marriage is performed and LGBT clergy are ordained on equal terms with heterosexual clergy (1)Kind of TraditionAllNew Religious Movement (4)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 11BarquinhaMonotheistic: one GodCheondoismMonotheistic: one GodChurch of the Flying Spaghetti MonsterMonotheistic: one GodEckankarMonotheistic: one GodKonkokyoMonotheistic: one GodOmotoMonotheistic: one GodSanto DaimeMonotheistic: one GodSpiritismMonotheistic: one GodSpiritualismMonotheistic: one GodTenrikyoMonotheistic: one GodUnião do VegetalMonotheistic: one GodSources1.
