Many, not all. Basically newer religions that were founded by an individual such at the ones you mentioned. Ancient, but still practiced, religions, such as Hinduism, Zoroastrianism, Native American religions and so on have a different, more nuanced, origin.
- Mediterraneo10 5y agoZoroastrianism was founded by an individual: Zoroaster. Traditionally it has been viewed as the product of an individual (drawing on some elements of the prevailing religion) just like Christianity, Manichaeism or Buddhism, though details of the founder's biography are now lost to time.
