The history of these religions or traditions is obscure. I know nothing of their prehistory. These seem to begin in antiquity. I have no details for the 5th millennium BC, the 4th millennium BC, the 3rd millennium BC, the 2nd millennium BC: Several of these traditions are dated to the early first millennium BC. They developed more during classical and medieval times. They remain influential in modern times. Details of the 16th century, 17th century, 18th century, and 19th century have not yet been examined. The 20th century history including the early 20th century, early-mid 20th century, mid 20th century, late-mid 20th century, late 20th century, and early 21st century can be examined. Their future is obscure.	Links to other sites: Not yet developed.
Connections to sociology will also be explored. These are connected to peoples of the world including Asiatic peoples, Western Civilization, African peoples, and American Indian peoples. Nations including the United States, China, India, and Indonesia can be connected. Communities and social structure and change can be considered. This is connected to other areas of religion, government, economics, education, and families. Culture including material culture, conceptual culture, and behavioral culture will be important. Anthropology including social foundations, demography, physical anthropology, human ecology, human geography, and particular groups can be connected. Specific connections to personal studies and science will be explored as this site develops.
