Throughout history, various religions have portrayed '''gender divergence in religion''' differently. As diversity in gender existed as long as gender has, so too has the portrayal of [[transgender]], [[nonbinary]], and [[Gender nonconformity|gender non-conforming]] people in religion. In some religions we have portrayal of gender diversity confirmed through living members. In others, we must deduce from primary sources deities that are diverse in gender. In some cases where a religion is resurrected, common in paganism, there is both an ancient idea of a deity's gender, and a more modern one. Both are portrayed in this article. | Throughout history, various religions have portrayed '''gender divergence in religion''' differently.
