  Matt, I hope you understand just how amazing this series was. A family tree of Christian denominations is something that people with an interest in Christian history have wanted for a very long time, and you&apos;ve put together something that is more thorough and more accurate than anything else that has been done before! I know this wasn&apos;t easy, but thank you for all your work on this. I look forward to seeing your future videos on the family trees of other religions.

  I would love it if you could create a chart of Catholic religious orders such as Franciscans, Carmelites, Trappists, etc?

  I really appreciate the breakdown of Rabbinic Judaism at the end, along with the explanation of how Jews that are atheists are still considered Jews by those who believe in God. For some reason the tribalism of Judaism as the reason for that had never occurred to me.

  LOL. Matt basically passes no judgment about the religions. Saying &quot;they believe&quot; and &quot;according to them&quot; but scientology? &nbsp;Nah, all made up.

  Buddhism has a variety of denominations, too, it would be great to cover them!

  UsefulCharts, can you please make a video on the family tree of not only Muslim denominations (Sunni, Shia, Ibadi), but also Muslim madhhabs (schools of thought, such as Hanafi, Maliki, Shafi&apos;i, etc). Thank you very much.

  A chart of the different divisions/sects within Hinduism would be interesting as well since it&apos;s hardly talked about in the West; we tend to lump all Hindus under one umbrella but there&apos;s so much diversity it&apos;s insane. &nbsp;The chart might be absolutely huge though

  As a history nerd and a agnostic I LOVED this series.

  I would appreciate a similar coverage of the Eastern faiths (Buddhism, Taoism, Hinduism, etc). This Christian series was incredibly insightful and well-done.

  I grew up in basically non-practicing Christian Science household. &nbsp;I always described it as Jedi with Jesus. &nbsp; Now I realize how close that was to the truth. &nbsp;Since Mesmerism really sounds like the Force the way you were describing it. <br><br>Thank you for including INC from the Philippines. &nbsp;Was worried you were not going to. &nbsp;I do think in general given this was focused on English speaking churches and those directly related to them that more should have been done for the larger non-Catholic movements in PH that don&apos;t fit under already mentioned groups. &nbsp;<br><br>Final note I would really like to see you add Buddhist to the other religions getting a family tree. &nbsp;It really founds out the major religions you mentioned outside of Christianity. &nbsp;And has had a lot of influence in America outside of ethnic groups associated with it who came to America.
