The IcebergThreads author describes it as: "As the title says, an iceberg of dead sects and religions. How well known they are is based on a western perspective as I lack the knowledge or experience to do otherwise. Some entries (like Canaanite Religion) have been placed under related but not exact categories (in this case, Jewish) so as to not overwhelm the original category."
Entries reflect the chart authors' choices and are not verified fact.
