Syncretic and New Religious Movement Founders

Founders of syncretic and new religious movements that do not fit another tradition family here, including the founders of Brazil's ayahuasca-centered Santo Daime religion and of Umbanda, an Andean prophetic Christian-indigenous syncretic movement, the founders of modern Satanism, the co-founders of Discordianism, the founder of the parody religion Pastafarianism, and the leader of the Manson Family, whose apocalyptic belief system is documented as part of the same landscape of twentieth century new religious movements.
