The following list is not necessarily complete:

  1. Animism / shamanism - still practised in limited communities in various parts of the world
  2. Shintoism - practised in Japan
  3. Hinduism - practised in India, Fiji and elsewhere
  4. Zoroastrianism - practised in small communities in Iran, India, Pakistan and in a worldwide diaspora
  5. Druidism - although modern Druid beliefs and rituals are probably only loosely based on ancient beliefs and rituals.

Several new religions and philosophies arose during a relatively short period now known as the Axial Age, including monotheistic Judaism, Buddhism, Jainism, Confucianism and Taoism. These are all still practised.
