The Universal Religious Colour Scheme (TURCS without Caicos)

This looks really interesting! As a suggestion, for your ‘God of the Rings’ color code, I’d also include religions from other fantasy settings than Lord of the Rings, such as A Song of Ice and Fire and The Elder Scrolls, so that those can go ahead and be included as well.
Also, I’m curious; I was under the impression that all of the races save the orcs, goblins, etc. worshipped Eru Iluvatar, while the orcs worshipped Melkor, which would leave only two religions from Lord of the Rings to be covered.

Despite that, the Dwarves would have veey different beliefs than the Numenorreans, while Belfalas would have a variety of the Dunedain religion itself (mostly devoted to Uinen). Unfortunately I am not familiar with Elder Scrolls, nor Ice and Fire , to do so I would need a strctured list.
Elder Scrolls are easy, what with the pantheon of regular gods being pretty much the only religion, with Daedra worshippers, random hippies, the Thalmor, and the Kahjit/Argonians to worry about outside of that.

I could not orientate myself in the Japanese sects, so I have only listed Shinto, Ryukyan and Tenrikyo. I am open to suggestions, and will include all relevant groups upon demand.
They appear to practice some form of syncretism, how should I classify it?
It depends; if you plan to do a section on syncretic religions, I'd just put it there. Otherwise, I think it would fit well under the Dharmic group, as it seems to be full of religions that are similar to Hinduism, but still religiously distinct.
I think it would be easier to add syncretism by hashing the colors, similar to joint occupation on the political schemes.
I am almost done, all that remains is Africa and Native Americans... and new (ir)religious movements
Due to me being a bit lazy, I doubt I will add something quite soon, so here comes unfied palette for the current progress
It was too big to upload it as one file. No corrections, nothing new, just uniting the already existing parts

The Johanites actually existed, but were a different group altogrther.

Where would an apocalyptic sect/mass-suicide cult à la People's Temple or Order of the Solar Temple fit in?
