Home›Religious Founders, Prophets & Reformers›Gender›MaleBrowse ByMaleThis page groups historical religious figures by gender, letting a visitor separate, for example, the women prophets and mystics a tradition recorded from the men. Wikipedia defines gender as "the range of social, psychological, cultural, and behavioral aspects of being a man (or boy), woman (or girl), or portraying a third gender." Many traditions recorded far fewer women in positions of religious authority, so this grouping also shows that imbalance directly.FactsMaleConnectionsSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsComparisonPrimary Academic DisciplineWell-attestedComparative Religion 2DirectoryCategoryWell-attestedHistorical Figures 1MaleFilter Results79 entriesTraditionAllAztec Religion (1)Bahá’í Faith (2)Cao Đài (1)Christianity (9)Haitian Vodou (1)Islam (1)Latter Day Saint Movement (2)New Thought (3)Tengrism (1)Yorùbá Religion (Ifá) (1)HistoricityAllComposite figure: more than one person or tradition behind the name (1)Historically attested (76)Historicity debated (1)Legendary: known from narrative tradition, not the historical record (1)Member OfAllChristian Broadcasting Network (1)PTL Club (1)Trinity Broadcasting Network (1)In GroupAllAfrican and African Diaspora Tradition Founders (5)Baha'i Founders and Forerunners (1)East Asian New Religion Founders (9)Hindu and Dharmic Founders (3)Islamic Founders and Reformers (5)Jewish Messianic Movement Founders (1)Latter Day Saint Movement Founders (3)Native American and Indigenous Tradition Founders (10)New Age, Esoteric and Theosophical Founders (16)Protestant and Evangelical Founders (10)Syncretic and New Religious Movement Founders (11)Revered InAllBaha'i Faith (2)Christianity (7)Manner Of DeathAllAssassinated (1)Died of natural causes (11)Executed (3)Killed in battle (2)Martyred (1)Office HeldAllFirst President of the Theosophical Society, 1875 to 1907 (1)Guardian of the Baha'i Faith from 1921 until his death (1)Lieutenant Colonel, United States Army (1)Master navigator, initiated in the pwo ceremony of Satawal (1)Treasurer at the court of the Kalachuri king Bijjala II (1)NationalityAllAngola (1)Australia (1)Brazil (4)Canada (1)China (1)Colombia (1)Congo (Democratic Republic of the) (1)Czechoslovakia (Historical) (1)France (3)Ghana (1)Haiti (1)India (3)Iran (2)Israel (1)Japan (5)Korea (South) (1)Lebanon (1)Mexico (1)Micronesia (1)Morocco (1)Netherlands (1)New Zealand (3)Nigeria (1)Peru (1)Saudi Arabia (1)Turkey (1)United Kingdom (2)United States (31)Vietnam (2)BrowseCompareSelect all 79Allan KardecMaleAnton LaVeyMaleAuguste ComteMaleBasavaMaleBlack ElkMaleBobby HendersonMaleBrigham YoungMaleCharles FillmoreMaleCharles Harrison MasonMaleCharles MansonMaleCharles Taze RussellMaleChoe Je-uMaleDaniel Pereira de MattosMaleDavid UnaiponMaleDon Richard RisoMaleDutty BoukmanMaleEn no GyojaMaleErnest HolmesMaleGeorge FoxMaleGreg Hill (Malaclypse the Younger)MaleHal LindseyMaleHamza ibn Ali ibn AhmadMaleHandsome LakeMaleHarold CampingMaleHenry Steel OlcottMaleHong Tao-TzeMaleHuynh Phu SoMaleIbn TumartMaleJim BakkerMaleJon Kabat-ZinnMaleJosé Gabriel da CostaMaleJoseph Franklin RutherfordMaleJoseph SmithMaleJuan ChocneMaleKerry Thornley (Lord Omar Khayyam Ravenhurst)MaleKokochuMaleLi HongzhiMaleMaharishi Mahesh YogiMaleMark HofmannMaleMartín OcelotlMaleMasaharu TaniguchiMaleMau PiailugMaleMichael AquinoMaleMichael HarnerMaleMikao UsuiMaleMulla HusaynMaleMusaylimaMaleNgo Van ChieuMaleOkomfo AnokyeMaleOnisaburo DeguchiMaleOral RobertsMaleOscar IchazoMalePat RobertsonMalePaul TwitchellMalePeter WaldoMalePhineas Parkhurst QuimbyMaleRa Uru HuMaleRaimundo Irineu SerraMaleRichard AllenMaleRuss HudsonMaleSabbatai ZeviMaleSebastião Mota de MeloMaleSheikh Adi ibn MusafirMaleShoghi EffendiMaleSimão TocoMaleSimon KimbanguMaleSon Byong-huiMaleStanislav GrofMaleSultan SahakMaleSwami Satyananda SaraswatiMaleTahupotiki Wiremu RatanaMaleTe Kooti Arikirangi Te TurukiMaleTe Whiti o RongomaiMaleThomas VennerMaleVenancio KamikoMaleWande AbimbolaMaleWilliam MillerMaleWilliam Quan JudgeMaleWim HofMaleConnectionsAssociated WithAfrica, Continents Well-attested This source names Africa directly: "founders of colonial and postcolonial Africa, the Pacific and the Americas, and the twentieth century's new religious movements."Source Divinity Atlas Directory Prose, First Edition Category Descriptionstier 1Americas, Continents Well-attested This source names Americas directly: "Africa, the Pacific and the Americas, and the twentieth century's new religious movements."Source Divinity Atlas Directory Prose, First Edition Category Descriptionstier 1Sources1.
