in fact I'm highlighting this as I think maybe we should revert this rule.. we still allow mythology and folklore, which are religions (just from older societies) - the fear of offending the "big religions" no longer make sense when I think on it.. since these religions are the ones that labelled these figures evil to begin with.

I can see controversies when people make articles on ALTERNATIVE viewpoints like God Is Evil from maltheism but maltheism isn't an official religion or text, it's a philosophy and thus we really shouldn't of even made a page about maltheism to begin with.

outside these "god/s are evil" thing, which can be easily avoided by common sense editing, I see no reason we should continue to get rid of things that the "major faiths" already pretty much say are villains anyway, within their texts.. which are, regardless of personal beliefs, usually morality tales and symbolic stories, thus deserving of mention as any folklore.

we can be mature enough to tackle these things easily, if we just believe in our community a little more.. troublemakers can be easily found and dealt with, as can any concerns.

seems, in hindsight, the ban on religious texts wasn't really a great idea and probably based on a fear of controversy that really doesn't have to exist in the first place.
