Discussion
editEastern Orthodox should be a subcategory of Christian. -- Szabi 08:25, 9 August 2005 (UTC)
Likewise, Wiccan (and probably Druidic and Ásatrúar/heathen) should be under Pagan, most likely. Nae'blis 19:32:36, 2005-08-31 (UTC)
In view of some of the esoteric religions listed here, I am surprised that there is no entry for Sikh Wikipedians. I would not be in this category myself (I come under Christian Wikipedians and Interdenominational Wikipedians) but find it hard to believe that there are no Sikh Wikipedians.

- I absolutely second that. However I have no clue how to edit this page. Will somebody help me? -- Amit 16:03, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
Deletion
editThis category and its subcategories are literally divisive, and should be deleted.Proabivouac 08:56, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
- I totally support that. -- FayssalF - Wiki me up ® 17:58, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
- I totally respect your sentiments, but I don't think believing in a particular faith HAS to be divisive -- Amit 16:03, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
- I have to agree, mainly because of the potential for abuse by those who make exaggerated claims of bias in Wikipedia. The numbers aren't representative because it's self-selected, but people can miss or ignore that fact and claim Wikipedians are godless heathens based on graphs like this. Oh, and there's no section for Pastafarians. --Qwerty0 (talk) 23:13, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
Atheism: Yes/No?
editSo, we should include Category:Atheist Wikipedians in this, yes? (Please no quibbles/squabbles [squibbles?] about whether Atheism is/is not a "belief". We're supposedly including "[other] spiritual, superstitious, mystical, or supernatural views" here. Atheism is certainly a view about the spiritual, superstitious, mystical, and/or supernatural.) -- Writtenonsand (talk) 04:35, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
- Seeing as Category:Agnostic Wikipedians and Category:Ignostic Wikipedians are both here I'd think atheism fits here as well. Zero is a number, bald is a scalp condition, etc.--T. Anthony (talk) 02:16, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
- On a related note, how about adding the Pastafarian Wikipedians? A 'parody' religion perhaps, but taken very seriously by some of its adherents. LK (talk) 12:22, 27 January 2010 (UTC)
Added atheism back
editSo long as it's fine to have the agnostic subcategory it should also include atheists, there is no reason to include agnostics and not atheists. C6541 (T↔C) 21:35, 18 April 2012 (UTC)
