I wonder why we never call the Hindu pantheon as an Indian Syncretism. It's almost a mixture of theist (monotheistic, polytheistic, quasitheistic) and atheistic (e.g. charvaka, buddhism influences, etc.). It's hard to explain to people when my religion is not really a religion but a mixture of ideas of spirituality and philosophy.

Excited for this video. And I love to see the diversity of nations in the comments. Thanks Matt! ❤

I have been teaching comparative religions internationally for about 15 years, and working in the field for over 20. This is the most complete and accurate infographics attempting to do this I have seen yet. With one specific caveat: the name of the Catholic Church is "Catholic Church" (not Roman). The name of the Orthodox Church is {Eastern} Orthodox Church (not Greek). Please, please, please run the next print corrected.

I think it would have made sense to indicate that the "Japanese Syncretism" is also alive and well in Japan, with a combination of Confusionism, Shintoism and Buddhism. It would also have made some sense to include Mesoamerican religions. While they are for the most part extinct, they were incredibly impactful not only in the culture and architecture of the Americas, but some elements of them where incorporated into Catholicism, like All Saints day being placed closely to same time the Aztecs celebrated the Day of the Dead or the Virgin of Guadalupe.

This is an excellent program. Your work is always so clearly presented and well thought out! Thank you for all the attention you put into creating these

Hope you make a more in-depth video about Chinese Syncretism! It would only be fair since you made a video for Judaism despite being way smaller

Man, 2h, I love it, but will need to come back to it later, love your videos.

Good work - thank for making these. Would you consider making a timeline of world cultures/religions creation stories/myths from the first recorded to date?

Nice one Matt! I need to get this chart.

Can't wait to see those videos for the Christianity and esotericism sections on this chart!

Love these learning opportunities

I love, love, LOOOOVE these videos! I would absolutely love to see you create one of these that focused on Yoga and also the different forms of meditation and how they differ and originated from various forms of Hinduism and yoga.

Cant wait for the Christianity portion especially the esoteric religions portion of this chart! Great job Matt!

been a while. glad ur back sir

This has been hugely successful and useful, thanks so much bro! You are a genius

Wow, this is really great work. You have got it down to the most minor details. Kudos.

A tiny thing about Confucianism is that in Chinese, it's not named after Confucius but it's called 儒家 where the word 儒 simply means scholar or learned man

Big fan of your work. Keep it up brother. Good luck to you.

17:00 minutes in, very interesting. Looked to see how long this video is. Need to watch in multi parts. This is just a bookmark for me.
