ZOROASTRIANISM'S "Link" TO JUDAISM UNPROVEN.[edit]
I don't know about the other entries, but this proposed link between Zoroastrainism and Judaism and Christianity does not exist. Some cultural traditions, might be inspired through Zoroastrianism, through intermarriage between Jews and others, but that doesn't mean Zoroastrianism necessarily is responsible for Judaism in anyway shape or form. This article about Zoroastrianism being the grandaddy of Christianity is utterly unproven.
-TheEpicLevelHandbook
There are parallels between the Christian idea of the God who is the son of God and comes to Earth as a man and dies and rises to heaven to become God again and the Egyptian myth of Osiris and Horus. This concept was common in the Middle East for thousands of years BC. The Mithra story has elements of it. Seth is probably Satan. The obvious counterpart to Isis is Mary. (The Holy Spirit as God's {Osiris's} detached penis? Maybe this is too much of a stretch.)

Comment: Relations between Christianity and other religions would be a better title (and fits article titles for relations between countries), but I agree this should be done as a naming convention rather than as a one-off. jamacfarlane (talk) 00:14, 25 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Weak oppose. Relations between Christianity and other religions would be acceptable, but it's a line call at best as to whether it's a better title. The meaning is unchanged. It would be clearer to some speakers of English as a second language, and English Wikipedia is for all English speakers. But at the cost of being less concise and no more precise.

Christianity and other religions documents Christianity's relationship with other world religions, and the differences and similarities.

Any objections to moving to Christianity's relationship with other world religions. Speak up now if you object, or I'll move it there. – wbm1058 (talk) 03:41, 10 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Still a weak oppose. Both Christianity's relationship with other world religions and Christianity's relationship with other religions are acceptable titles, but the meaning is unchanged from the current title, and so it's not obvious to me that anything is gained.

@Steel1943, Farang Rak Tham, Gonnym, Jamacfarlane, and Andrewa: see my notes below, and feel free to add your thoughts. Participation here has been thin so this should probably be expanded to a more meta-discussion to try to get more participation and a stronger consensus. But, after making my notes, I'd like your opinion on Christianity and other religions → Comparison of Christianity with other religions, which may help guide the start of any followup discussion. That title would more clearly frame the article as a comparative religion topic. – wbm1058 (talk) 15:36, 10 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Scientology and other religions: The relationship between Scientology and other religions is very complex. While Scientology claims that it is fully compatible with all existing major world religions and that it does not conflict with them or their religious practices, there are major differences in beliefs and practices between Scientology and most religions, especially the major monotheistic religions. Members are not allowed to engage in other similar mental therapies or procedures, religious or otherwise. However, some ministers from other churches have adopted some Scientology secular programs.
Current lead reads Christianity and other religions documents Christianity's relationship with other world religions, and the differences and similarities. As such it's an overview of both comparitive religion and relationship matters, and the current title Christianity and other religions seems to describe that succinctly and well. IMO it's a good topic and I think I'd oppose rescoping. Andrewa (talk) 22:13, 10 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
