> Well it just seems to me that there hasn't really been a religion that has had a recognized prophet in over 1000 years.
There are plenty, and lots more than that. What do you mean by recognized BTW? Recognized by the movements own followers, or by at least one other religion or by an encyclopedia ?
BTW, religion is a western concept. In other cultures there are rarely words for the concept we call religion. It is so closely connected to society and the world at whole that it is not meaningful to talk about.
