#2Some sort of minimap for navigation would be useful. Also a zoom, the text is a bit small for my eyes.
Edit: browser zoom works well. There's a legend in the lower left.

#3Is Greek / Roman / Norse mythology (basically everything Western that isn't Christianity) not considered religion? Because maybe I'm just blind but I can't seem to find those anywhere in the tree.

Similar for Africa(n) which leads me to believe that the periphery covers only what is extant and only the roots of those are traced back to their origins.

It seems to be incomplete and inaccurate in a lot of ways.
For example, Christianity borrows elements of Zoroastrianism and Judaism is actually derived from ancient Babylonian polytheism. Maybe I just didn't see it, but Confucianism seems to be missing too.

Confucianism can be found near the center. It's the thick brownish-green branch that goes left near 0 AD.
