Ordered by how many Wikipedias have an article on each — a measure of how widely a subject is written about, not of its importance to any tradition.
2 records are filed here only as a state, and come after the rest whatever their reach: a country's coverage says nothing about an institution of belief.
691 of these sit in no collection yet, so they appear under All and under no tradition.
