@elithebearded @makeworld That’s because this is a zoomed in detail view of one fork of the master repo, from just after Islam forked off from Christianity. Here’s a zoomed out view.

OTOH OP’s diagram could also be zoomed in on to see further details like baptists vs methodists and various merge attempts too. It’s pretty much a fractal that probably goes down to each individual’s beliefs, and even then noting that a single individual might hold multiple contradictory beliefs at once, which also change over time.

(Edit: see below for a more impressive, and probably more accurate (to the degree that’s possible) version)

"Nostratic pantheism" sounds cool but makes the warning in this chart about it being speculative rather understated.

The Nostratic language hypothesis is already extremely speculative, let alone anything about the religion practices of those hypothesized speakers.

@faassen @elithebearded @makeworld Your comment made me go looking to see if the chart’s designer had made any updates… and wowsers, look what I found!
