A figure belongs here for founding a new religious movement, a tradition that broke away from or arose outside the established world religions in the modern era, rather than reforming or leading within one of them. This distinguishes a founder counted here from a reformer counted among an existing tradition's own historical figures, such as a Church Father or an Islamic jurist, even where the new movement draws heavily on an older one.
