This template can be used to provide comparative at-a-glance information on biographies of religious figures. It is not intended to be used for mythological figures (consider using other infoboxes for them like {{t|Infobox character}}). It is not intended to be used for biographies not having any religion (consider using other infobox for them like {{t|Infobox philosopher}}).

== Full syntax ==
All fields are optional, and any unused fields should be removed; if omitted, the name will be inferred from the page title.
