The article appears to have been written in a highly promotional tone and does not meet the standards of neutrality. 124.19.28.170 (talk) 21:18, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Can you give some examples? Kowal2701 (talk) 21:20, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not the person you asked, but I saw "Unlike Abrahamic religions, traditional African religions are not idealisations; they seek to come to terms with reality." in the header and immediately went to the talk page to see if anyone else was troubled by this. I'm not religious myself but this seems like incredibly biased language. NoahTheAnimator (talk) 00:23, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It’s what the source says, I can’t think of a better way of saying it Kowal2701 (talk) 01:06, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I’ve reworded it so it doesn’t imply Abrahamic religions are detached from reality Kowal2701 (talk) 01:09, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
