Wikipedia notes that "post-classical polytheistic religions include Norse Æsir and Vanir, the Aztec gods, and many others." Browsing by pantheon-of lets a visitor find every pantheon that belongs to the same named culture.FactsLearn MorePantheon OfSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsDirectoryCategoryWell-attestedPantheons 1Learn MoreFifty Nine Pantheons That Do Not Fit a Named Category This article records tradition as it has been passed down and reported. Its sources are not yet part of the atlas's verified catalogue.Other Pantheons gathers fifty nine deity type entries that do not belong under one of the atlas's other named pantheon classifications, the largest and most heterogeneous grouping under deity type. Most of the fifty nine are indigenous and folk traditions of specific peoples, filed here because each is its own tradition rather than a variant of a larger one already catalogued. Sub-Saharan Africa contributes the largest cluster, twenty five entries including West African, Maasai, Bambara, Mossi, Senufo, Tallensi, Ewe, Edo, Amazigh, Zande, Mbuti, Kikuyu, Luo, Ganda, Dinka, Nuer, Xhosa and Chewa, several, Senufo's Poro and Chewa's Nyau among them, built around initiation societies whose deeper knowledge stays closed and is recorded here only as far as each community has made public. South and Southeast Asia contribute twenty two entries, chiefly India's Adivasi and other indigenous communities, the Adivasi, Tani, Meitei, Kirat, Bodo, Garo, Khasi, Gond, Bhil and Santal among them, several campaigning for census recognition as faiths distinct from Hinduism, alongside the Sinhala and Tamil shared cult, the Vedda, Kalash, Dayak, Javanese, Toraja, Balinese, Igorot, Hmong, Burmese, Thai and Khmer traditions further east. East Asia's Yi, Naxi and Ryukyuan traditions form a third cluster. The diaspora in the Americas contributes Mexican Folk, Kumina and Winti, and antiquity contributes Phrygian. A final cluster of five entries, Christian, Jewish, Islamic, Baha'i and Latter Day Saint, exists so each Abrahamic tradition's own conception of the one God of Abraham stands on its own terms rather than sharing one comparative page. What unifies the fifty nine is only that none fit elsewhere, not a shared pantheon, cosmology or region.Pantheon OfFilter Results14 entriesAdherents Today MaximumAll5,000,000 (1)14,800,000 (1)17,000,000 (1)2,000,000,000 (1)2,300,000,000 (1)Adherents Today MinimumAll5,000,000 (1)14,800,000 (1)17,000,000 (1)2,000,000,000 (1)2,300,000,000 (1)Basis of the Membership FigureAllChurch-Reported Rolls (2)Independent Survey (3)Scholarly or Demographic Estimate (3)Establishment StatusAllDeclared Not Established (1)No Establishment (1)Varies by Province (2)How the Expectation Is EnforcedAllCodified Obligation With Consequences (2)Customary Norm (1)Preached Expectation, Not Enforced (1)Membership Figure As OfAll1969-12-31 (1)2010-01-01 (3)2011-01-27 (1)2011-12-19 (1)2013-01-01 (1)2020-01-01 (3)2022-01-01 (1)2026-08-13 (1)Origin Period End YearAll400 BCE (1)50 (1)632 (1)1863 (1)Origin Period Start YearAll586 BCE (1)30 (1)610 (1)1830 (1)1844 (1)Position on MarriageAllMarriage is held to be monogamous, with remarriage after divorce sanctioned under specified conditions (1)Marriage may licitly be polygynous (1)Position on SexualityAllSame-sex orientation or practice is held to bar full membership or participation (1)Same-sex sexual relationships are held contrary to teaching; LGBT individuals are welcomed as members but not ordained, and same-sex unions are not blessed (1)The body holds no single settled position; the question is actively and openly contested within it (3)Position on UsuryAllInterest is permitted but bound by ethical constraints against exploiting the poor (1)Interest of any kind on a loan is forbidden (1)Practice StatusAllLiving, and practised in varied local forms (2)Partly restricted: some elements are closed to outsiders (2)Standard Rate ExpectedAllNineteen percent.
