Ethnoreligion - Samaritanism is a part of the Ethnoreligion religion. Samaritanism is an Abrahamic religion closely related to Judaism. Samaritans say that their worship is the true religion of the ancient Israelites prior to the Babylonian Exile, preserved by those who remained in the Land of Israel, as opposed to Judaism, which they say is a related but altered and amended religion, brought back by those returning from the Babylonian exile.
