    The vast majority of those 4000 are not separate religions but subgroups of christianity, islam, judaisn, hinduism and budhhism. There are a few matriarchal societies but that is not the same as religion.

      Religion and culture have a lot of influence on each other, it’s not crazy to assume that some of those matriarchal societies have matriarchal religions.

      Here are some non-patriarchal religions.

      I believe a significant portion of that 4000 are small folk religions such as the ones on this page under the folk religions category.
