Just a reminder that "New Religious Movement" is a very specific academic term that generally refers to movements founded post-1800. This project isn't for everyone in history who started a (lowercase) new religious movement. Due to that, I've removed some profiles that went as far back as the 1400s.

I'm bumping this up because it seems there's still a lot of confusion about this. I've been removing profiles for people who died well before 1800, people who simply planted new churches within existing denominations, people who were village pastors, people who became later leaders of NRMs, etc.

If you are unfamiliar with the term "New Religious Movement" and have a profile you want to add, please feel free to post a comment in this thread and I can help you determine if they fit. Thanks!
