Home›Religious Founders, Prophets & Reformers›Nationality›United StatesBrowse ByUnited StatesThis page groups historical figures by nationality, the country or people they are identified with. Wikipedia defines nationality as "the legal status of belonging to a particular nation," though for figures who lived before modern states existed the atlas records the closest historical equivalent. Browsing this way lets a visitor see every notable figure from one country or region gathered together.FactsUnited StatesConnectionsSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsComparisonPrimary Academic DisciplineWell-attestedComparative Religion 2DirectoryCategoryWell-attestedHistorical Figures 1United StatesFilter Results43 entriesTraditionAllBuddhism (1)Christianity (6)Eckankar (1)Goddess Movement (1)Latter Day Saint Movement (3)Modern Satanism (1)New Thought (8)Theosophy (2)Wicca (1)EraAll1782 to 1849 (1)1801 to 1877 (1)1802 to 1866 (1)1804 to 1879 (1)1805 to 1844 (1)1821 to 1910 (1)1827 to 1915 (1)1832 to 1907 (1)1844 to 1906 (1)1845 to 1931 (1)1849 to 1925 (1)1851 to 1896 (1)1852 to 1916 (1)1854 to 1948 (1)1861 to 1945 (1)1862 to 1950 (1)1863 to 1950 (1)1866 to 1961 (1)1869 to 1942 (1)1887 to 1960 (1)1890 to 1944 (1)1900 to 1980 (1)1908 to 1971 (1)1909 to 1981 (1)1918 to 2009 (1)1921 to 2013 (1)1929 to 2018 (1)1929 to 2024 (1)1930 to 1997 (1)1930 to 2023 (1)1934 to 2017 (1)1938 to 1998 (1)1941 to 2000 (1)1942 to 2007 (1)1946 to 2012 (1)1946 to 2019 (1)Place of ActivityAllAustralia (1)Baltimore (1)Berkeley (1)California (1)Illinois (1)Los Angeles (1)Massachusetts (1)Memphis (1)Missouri (1)New York (1)New York City (1)Pennsylvania (1)Pittsburgh (1)Saint Paul (1)Salt Lake City (1)San Diego (1)San Francisco (2)Santa Monica, California (1)Sri Lanka (1)Tokyo (1)Tulsa (1)United States (17)Utah (1)Vienna (1)GenderAllFemale (14)Male (29)HistoricityAllHistorically attested (43)Veneration StatusAllHistorically Significant but Not Venerated (31)Officially Recognized or Venerated (6)Popularly or Locally Venerated (1)Manner Of DeathAllAssassinated (1)Died by accident or misadventure (1)Died by suicide (1)Died of natural causes (15)Disputed (1)In GroupAllEast Asian New Religion Founders (1)Latter Day Saint Movement Founders (4)Native American and Indigenous Tradition Founders (1)Neopagan and Wiccan Founders (2)New Age, Esoteric and Theosophical Founders (17)Protestant and Evangelical Founders (11)Syncretic and New Religious Movement Founders (6)Member OfAllChristian Broadcasting Network (1)PTL Club (2)Trinity Broadcasting Network (2)Revered InAllChristianity (12)Eckankar (1)Latter Day Saint Movement (2)Modern Satanism (1)New Thought (6)Theosophy (2)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 43Aimee Semple McPhersonUnited StatesAnton LaVeyUnited StatesBlack ElkUnited StatesBobby HendersonUnited StatesBrigham YoungUnited StatesCharles FillmoreUnited StatesCharles Harrison MasonUnited StatesCharles MansonUnited StatesCharles Taze RussellUnited StatesDon Richard RisoUnited StatesEllen G.
