Prophets & Religions Catalogue

Forty-eight religious traditions in one table — the founder or prophet, the period, the content each tradition contributes to the Wheel of Heaven framework, and, in the last column, the corpus's authenticity assessment of the founding-contact claim.

Columns

tradition, period, founder, authenticity, principal_content, woh_wiki (a link to the wiki entry where one exists). Extracted from the list of prophets & religions entry, so the catalogue and the site stay in step.

Reading the authenticity column

This column is not a neutral scholarly rating — it is the Wheel of Heaven corpus's own working judgment of whether a tradition's founding-contact claim (a revelation, a visitation, a dictated book) is plausibly what it says it is, on the corpus's Elohim-contact hypothesis. The scale runs Canonical (the Raëlian founding contact, the corpus's Tier 0) → Highly likely → Likely → Unlikely → Highly unlikely. It is offered transparently as an interpretive instrument, not as consensus fact; the neutral biographical data in the other columns can be used entirely independently of it.

What it's for

A machine-readable census of contact-and-revelation traditions — useful for comparative religion and new-religious-movements research whether or not you share the corpus's frame. Free to filter, sort, and cite; the authenticity column is simply one project's labelled hypothesis, there to be argued with.
