I again suggest that we convert the Michelangelo painting to the Trinity Shield. Let’s again discuss. - Mahal ko si Jesus (talk) 22:58, 21 July 2025 (UTC)

I put the following sentence in the intro of this page:

Results of a 2020 PhilPapers survey organized by philosophers David Chalmers and David Bourget demonstrated that approximately 67% of philosophers generally align with an atheistic view of God, while approximately 19% of philosophers generally align with a theistic view, and approximately 14% of philosophers align with other views.

The user JDiala removed it, claiming it is unfit for an intro. However, on the intro of the page theism, there is an analogous sentence (from the same study)

A 2020 Philpapers survey of professional philosophers found that 66.72% accepted or leaned towards atheism, 18.64% accepted or leaned towards theism, and 14.64% leaned towards another opinion.

So, either both sentences are removed from their respective intros, or both sentences remain in their respective intros. Cerebrality (talk) 18:14, 7 September 2025 (UTC)

I don't want to assert or suggest that the details about pantheism in the introduction are erroneous or exaggerated as I'm not an expert on the subject and I don't have time to do in-depth research on this, but I think language could be forged that is more in line with the Neutral Point of View policy.

The existing text is too matter-of-fact. Church theologists did this? Was this strictly a Christian phenomenon? Were they "attacking" pantheism or investigating it? Maybe arguing against pantheism? Was there a motivation for this attack or argument? And how did such (presumably) scholarly people as clergy get the definition of pantheism wrong? There's a lot here that raises more questions than answers which doesn't feel appropriate for the introduction. HistorianFromSyracuse (talk) 04:06, 18 January 2026 (UTC)

Pantheism "is primarily a polemical term", so there are not many pantheists in Ancient history. Source: Lagrée, Jacqueline (2005). "Pantheism". In Lacoste, Jean-Yves (ed.). Encyclopedia of Christian Theology. Vol. 3. Routledge. p. 1181. ISBN 978-1-57958-332-3. Retrieved 23 January 2026.

Thomson (2008: 54) fails verification. It concerns Spinozism, not Ancient theology. tgeorgescu (talk) 22:21, 4 February 2026 (UTC)

Edit definition to "supreme holy One, intelligent sovereign creator of the complex system of Universe with its living mortals, original source of life, merciful omnipotent ruler of natural law, and primary venerated figure by vast number of believing mankind above the Earth."

There is a user made an objection against my contribution on POV matters, any comment would be considered. Andeubn (talk) 19:17, 21 February 2026 (UTC)
