The sources cited are not definitive proof of this claim. Instead it should read something like "Religion is considered by some to be a western concept"

I feel like there is some kind of anti-western bias in this statement, as though the west invented the concept of religion just to subjugate non-Christian/non-Jewish religions which is a very dishonest thing considering there are only two sources here that citing shaky opinions and nothing resembling fact. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2604:3D08:127F:5000:C520:FE15:230A:757E (talk) 08:05, 13 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The sources state that religion is a western concept. There are no equivalent terms sacred texts for such a concept either. For example, Judaism see Harvard intro, [1]. In fact, many religions were conceived in the 19th century to fit a Western concept called religion. Many more sources on this in the "History of the concept of religion" section of the article.

"'Religion' is a complex modern Western concept" is absolute nonsense. South Asia is riddled with religions that are as systemic as European ones, and is not what is meant by western according to Western world. Furthermore "the middle east" (a.k.a. west Asia) is also not part of what is meant by western according to Western world. Furthermore Western world includes literally every continent except south Asia and Africa, i.o.w. 4/6 continents, this makes the word "western" a bit meaningless. Seems European is really meant here?

How can this page that is by now +-8 years old be titled "Religious violence" but not include American Indian boarding schools nor Stolen generations. This is a gross violation of WP:WEIGHT. Wallby (talk) 14:00, 11 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

No mention of psychological violence even though there is an entire heading about psychological violence on Religious abuse. Wallby (talk) 14:11, 11 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
