Solar deities

sky deity who represents the Sun

Atenism, also known as the Aten religion, the Amarna religion, and the Amarna heresy, was a religion in ancient Egypt. It was founded by Akhenaten, a pharaoh who ruled the New Kingdom under the Eighteenth Dynasty. The religion is described as monotheistic or monolatristic, although some Egyptologists argue that it was actually henotheistic. Atenism was centered on the cult of Aten, a god depicted as the disc of the Sun. Aten was originally an aspect of Ra, Egypt's traditional solar deity, though he was later asserted by Akhenaten as being the supreme of all deities.

Kurozumikyō (黒住教, ) is a Shinto-based Japanese new religion founded in Okayama during the 19th century. In 1814, the religion's founder, Munetada Kurozumi (黒住宗忠), claimed to have a divine union with Amaterasu, goddess of the sun and chief kami in the Shinto pantheon. The religion is characterized by its daily worship of the sun at sunrise, called nippai (日拝). Kurozumikyō only worships the sun as its primary deity, a similarity also found in the Ancient Egyptian religion Atenism. Kurozumikyō believes that all kami (spirits) are the manifestations of a single supreme deity, namely Amaterasu.
