LIST OF RELIGIONS

The following is a 'list of religions'.
:''Note: A discussion of the ways in which "major religions" have historically been separated from the list of all religions can be found in the article Major world religions.
:''Note: As there are countless small religions, many of which cannot be verified to be real or legitimate, only those religions with Wikipedia articles will be listed in order to ensure that all entries on this list are notable and verifiable.
:''Note: The classification below is only one of several possible, using a filter system for categorization. A group will be listed in a category as close to the top of the page as the definitions for the category allow. Even if multiple definitions are applicable a religion will, ideally, only be listed once. The definition of religion for this page is inclusive.
