Religions Wiki is an online encyclopædia dedicated to religion, more particularly, the refutation of religious apologetics and extremists.[1] 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:
"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."
They further encourage their members to maintain traits of rationality and interest in thoughtful intellectial argumentation, a materialistic outlook, and a willingness to use science as a reliable approach to acquiring knowledge. They are also aganist dogma, like that found in many organized religions.[2] They claim that Religions Wiki is intended for atheists who are looking for ways to combat apologetic arguments, 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.[3]
While they are not Scientific Socialists, and may contain 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 Christian fundamentalists.[4]
