Notes: Note:
In the first 'Affiliations' column, we tried to identify 'belief groups' that this particular group was closely associated with. Nel primo 'Affiliazioni' colonna, abbiamo cercato di individuare 'convinzione gruppi' che questo particolare gruppo è stato strettamente associato. These 'affiliations' are not precise, and since there is sometimes great diversity in a listed religion or denomination, they may not even be accurate in some cases! Questi 'affiliazioni' non sono precise, e poiché non vi è talvolta grande diversità elencati in una religione o denominazione, essi non possono ancora essere precisi, in alcuni casi! They are offered merely as a general guideline in trying to make sense of the sometimes bewildering variety of belief systems! Essi sono offerti come un semplice orientamento generale nel tentativo di rendere il senso di talvolta sconcertante varietà dei sistemi di credenze!
