Abrahamic religions

Also called Taoic religions, these are religions originating in eastern Asia that share Chinese ideas of spirituality and the world. 

East Asian religions

This is a diverse group of religions originating in Africa, developed both on the African continent and through the African diaspora.

Traditional African religions

These are religions originating in "Greater Iran" which includes areas of modern-day Western, Central, and South Asia, as well as Transcaucasia.

Iranian religions

This is a broad category of religions, united not through shared history or practices, but because of their shared standing as different from global, organized religions. These religions are often closely tied to a specific group of people, and religious knowledge is passed down from generation to generation.

Indigenous and Folk religions

This movement describes the creation of "new religions" with either completely modern origins, or older origins with enough changes to make it a distinct new religion rather than a denomination. These religions are by definitions not dominant religions in society.

New Religious Movement

Used to denote the "Eternal Faith", the way of life that has existed for eons, Sanatana Dharma comprises of a set of duties or religiously ordained practices adopted by the followers of the faith, in order to break free from the cyclical lives to which individuals are subjected. 

In layman's terms, Sanatana Dharma reference lifestyles, and not religions that emerged from the Indian subcontinent, with a commonality in its foundations and philosophies.

As the philosophies evolved into religious beliefs, the term, "Sanatana Dharma" as of today, is interchangeable with the term "Hinduism".
