Can you think of a religion that has a female founder or chief deity?

Isis (Egyptian) is all I can think of.

Egyptian & Phoenician, are contemporary pagan religions, they each have a lot of Gods, with no central authority. Some of these gods are female. Greek mythology, splintered off from the Phoenician, and they have some female gods, but no central authority, same with Roman.

In modern times? possibly hinduism. Judeo-Christian is all male.
