[edit] Cleanup
I aligned this chart to correspond to the much larger tree under Category:Religion, and tried to correct classification errors in both places. This template used to link to more articles directly, and now it links to a lot of categories. Part of the problem of the previous implementation was that articles were being chosen somewhat randomly - e.g. we've got karma and evil and forgiveness and 11 other random concepts speaking for the entirety of religious belief. That seemed fragmentary and skewed. I've tried to be a bit more systematic in what I've chosen. If people want to see articles instead of categories, it's possible to link to "main articles" for a given category rather than the category itself, though if you ask me that tends to obscure the detailed articles, which may be what people are actually looking for. Likewise, if people want to break out certain topics and add more articles, that's fine, as long as it's done in a systematic way. Hopefully whatever is done will be somewhat more enduring and easier to keep in sync with the category system. -- Beland 07:26, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
- I really feel that the links to most places should be articles. That is what people are used to, and Wikipedia is meant to be an encyclopedia and not a list of links. A see also section being a list of links to another list of links in my mind is not great. The category system is used in addition to see alsos, and does not replace them. I'm going to try to get main articles instead. -- Jeff3000 15:00, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] new section
I took the liberty of adding a new section to this template on major world religions. I think this template should include this topic. In addition, it may make sense to make the header link to the religion article, rather than the category. Yahel Guhan 07:23, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] why was religious disaffiliation removed?
Apart from re-adding religious disaffiliation, apostasy could be added too. Andries (talk) 22:16, 25 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] The definition of an abrahamic faith
abrahamic faiths all share a common root but theyre deritavites(such as the Baha'i Faith or Rastafarianism) does not, so i took the liberty of putting the Baha'i Faith into the "Iranian Religions" category and left rastafarianism for someone else to move —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.250.68.167 (talk) 20:30, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] "Ethnic" tag
By what ethnocentric standpoint is African religion "ethnic" but the Jewish, Arab and Iranian religions not? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.175.134.37 (talk) 05:05, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Vishnuism and Krishnaism
Removed: links to Historical Vishnuism and Krishnaism. They are sects of Hinduism not religions.--Redtigerxyz (talk) 12:20, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Orthodoxy and Orthopraxy
Added orthodoxy and orthopraxy as aspects of religion.--151.201.149.209 (talk) 15:17, 11 September 2008 (UTC)
[edit] ...I see "Christian right" and "Christian left", but what about other religions??!?
Sure, I may be Catholic, but don't try to tell me that Christianity is the only religion to get involved in politics!!!!! --Luigifan (talk) 23:37, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
[edit] Mormonism?
Does not Mormonism count as a subgroup of Christianity, and therefore not mentioned as an Abrahamic religion? -PatPeter 05:36, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
