Branches and affiliations

Many paths. Shared histories.

What this means

Association and branching, in both directions. Traditions overlap, split and re-merge; this is not a single-origin family tree, and being listed under another tradition is not the same as being recognised by it.

Does not imply a clean single-origin family tree · that the parent recognises the branch

What this page is not

Not a list of beliefs everyone in it held, and not a map of adherents.

What this means

A tradition is not a list of beliefs held by everyone in it, and an affiliation recorded on a person is not that person’s belief in every period of their life.

Nothing here is a map of adherents. Where people practised a tradition, and how many, needs a dataset with its own methodology, and this site does not have one — see the atlas for what it does show.
