Editing Religions Wiki

'''Religions Wiki''' is an online encyclopædia dedicated to [[religion]], more particularly, the refutation of religious apologetics and extremists.<ref>{{News citation|newspaper=Religions Wiki|title=Religions Wiki:Introduction|url=https://religions.wiki/index.php/Religions_Wiki:Introduction|retrieved=2022-7-16|quote=Welcome to Religions Wiki! This is a counter-apologetics wiki that is meant to provide a thorough resource for responding to theistic arguments. For Christian apologists, the Bible is the word of God and serves as the foundation for most of their arguments.}}</ref> Their members are expected to maintain a skeptical point of view, which they consider to be a "neutral point of view", in their own words, this means:<blockquote>"This is what this site considers to be a "neutral" point of view. If God met the burden of proof, this would be a theist site. However, we aim to not automatically assume one way or another in content writing. In some ways, we generally adhere to the Wikipedia neutral point of view, but deviate from it in some ways. Facts should be stated impartially. Where there is dispute about the facts, the professional scientific and historical consensus is preferred. We will try to fairly present the best examples of opposing arguments if any exist. Conclusions are written from a neutral i.e. skeptical point of view."</blockquote>They further encourage their members to maintain traits of [[Rationalism|rationality]] and interest in thoughtful intellectial argumentation, a [[Materialism|materialistic]] outlook, and a willingness to use [[science]] as a reliable approach to acquiring knowledge. They are also aganist [[Dogmatism|dogma]], like that found in many organized religions.<ref>{{News citation|newspaper=Religions Wiki|title=Religions Wiki:Neutral point of view|url=https://religions.wiki/index.php/Religions_Wiki:Neutral_point_of_view|retrieved=2022-7-16|quote=This website is written from a skeptical point of view, meaning that belief should be proportioned to the evidence. This seems to be the only sensible way of evaluating claims. This is what this site considers to be a "neutral" point of view. If God met the burden of proof, this would be a theist site. However, we aim to not automatically assume one way or another in content writing.}}</ref> They claim that Religions Wiki is intended for [[Atheism|atheists]] who are looking for ways to combat apologetic arguments, [[Religion|theists]] who are uncertain about their beliefs, apologists who feel that their "pet" argument is above reproach, and individuals of any philosophical ideal who have an interest in religious studies.<ref>{{News citation|newspaper=Religions Wiki|title=Main Page|url=https://religions.wiki/index.php/Main_Page|retrieved=2022-7-16|quote=Religions Wiki is intended to provide information on apologetics and counter-apologetics. We'll be collecting common arguments and providing responses, information and resources to help counter the glut of misinformation and poor arguments which masquerade as evidence for religious claims.}}</ref>

While they are not [[Scientific socialism|Scientific Socialists]], and may contain [[Liberalism|Liberal-]][[Capitalist]] sympathies, they are nonetheless critical of countries such as the [[United States of America]] for failing to maintain [[secularism]] and allowing social and political influence by [[Christianity|Christian]] [[Fundamentalism|fundamentalists]].<ref>{{Web citation|newspaper=Religions Wiki|title=United States|url=https://religions.wiki/index.php/United_States|retrieved=2022-8-10}}</ref>
