Wikipedia:WikiProject Freedom of religion

Aquillon, you wrote, "Worst of all, most of the religious people on Wikipedia seem to be Western Judeo-Christian faith; when religion is touched upon, this tends to slant it towards those faiths and away from many other major world faiths. "

This may be true to some extent but the current to-do list on the WikiProject does not reflect your opinion. There are many articles on the to-do list that I edited that, I have to admit, contain quite a lot of critical remarks, e.g. guru that user:Goethean complained about. Like Goethean, I am a Hindu, though a skeptical one, and the reason that that article and several other article contain sourced, notable attributed critical remarks as per the NPOV policy is not because it was edited by people with a "Western Judeo-Christian faith" but because I edited those articles.

If we really want to counter systematic bias following the NPOV policy then the solution is not to remove those critical remarks that perfectly follow NPOV policy but to insert more critical remarks at articles related to the " "Western Judeo-Christian faith", such as prophet, as I have already done a bit, though this is difficult for me, because I don't know much about the Abrahamic religions.

I also find the name of the project offensive, because I have not impeded anybody's freedom of religion. Andries 08:04, 27 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
