God is part of WikiProject Atheism, which aims to organize, expand, clean up and guide Wikipedia articles relating to atheism. If you would like to participate, you can edit this article and visit the project page.AtheismWikipedia:WikiProject AtheismTemplate:WikiProject AtheismAtheism articles
Add Atheism info box to all atheism related talk pages (use {{WikiProject Atheism}} or see info box)
Ensure atheism-related articles are members of Atheism by checking whether [[Category:Atheism]] has been added to atheism-related articles – and, where it hasn't, adding it.
Try to expand stubs. Ideas and theories about life, however, are prone to generating neologisms, so some stubs may be suitable for deletion (see deletion process).
State atheism needs a reassessment of its Importance level, as it has little to do with atheism and is instead an article about anti-theist/anti-religious actions of governments.

The subject of this article is controversial and content may be in dispute. When updating the article, be bold, but not reckless. Feel free to try to improve the article, but don't take it personally if your changes are reversed; instead, come here to the talk page to discuss them. Content must be written from a neutral point of view. Include citations when adding content and consider tagging or removing unsourced information.
Looking at the sheer length of the paragraphs under depiction this wikipedia entry focusses heavily on Christinity and gives little space to other major religions.
The entries also appear to be random based on the inclusion of minor religious sects such as the Mandaeans and Gnostics while leaving out Hinduism as a major religion and no mention is made of indigenous peoples reference to God.
I also expect on an article about God to find historical references to ancient Egypt as well as to the Greco/Roman perception of the gods. The same applies to Norse gods and those of other cultures.
I would also expect to learn about obvious similarities and distinct differences of the God perception between these cultures. Hskoppek (talk) 07:03, 17 November 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]
'God' is from (corrected) g-Dia, 'The Dia' (latinized) being the Adamic conception, which was more or less g-Dia in Mesopotamia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:FE0:C700:2:BD83:E4F3:BD3E:98D5 (talk) 09:10, 19 December 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Hinduism is a polytheistic religion, and the article is specifically about monotheistic conceptions of God. Tqger (talk) 06:26, 1 August 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Agree that a disproportionately large section of the article is focused on Christianity. It appears that most of the text is duplicated from God in Christianity, and in all cases the text is better sourced on the other article. I am going to significantly trim the Christianity section. The content can still be found on the other article -- Hazhk (talk) 11:03, 30 April 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
The topic and definition of God does not invite discussion of the absence or deliver of God.[edit]
Discussion of the absence of, or disbelief in God does not contribute to the discussion of the topic of God and is inappropriate.
If I discuss gravity, ice cream preferences, or the life cycle of dinosaurs, an opposing argument is not presented in that topic. It is inappropriate to present an opposing argument in a defining discussion of any topic. At least show minimal initiative and get your own topic. 208.104.53.159 (talk) 07:41, 15 July 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Most scientists agree that God cannot be proven or disproven by the scientific method, moreover that science answers the natural while religion answers the supernatural.
It's not substantiated by cited content in the article, though. The first two scientists cited in God#Existence, Dawkins and Sagan, argue that God's existence is amenable to the scientific method, contrary to the lead. The other two, Stephen Jay Gould and Stephen Hawking are cited for their own esoteric and specific opinion, neither of which as far as I'm aware are particularly common.

I think in God Definition should be , God is Love[edit]

You would think that means much, but regarding scholarly clout it does not amount to much. It is a lousy definition, which does not speak to the intellect. I could equally call it the most abused definition ever. Even the Inquisition portrayed itself as an institution furthering God's truth, love, and mercy. "God is love" can be properly called syrup. tgeorgescu (talk) 22:55, 8 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
More than a decade ago, I purchased a multi-volume series of Greek books detailing persecutions and mass murder by Christians on all continents (except Antarctica) in an attempt to spread their cult. It is mockingly called "A story of Love", and has a long list of academic sources. Whenever I hear "love" mentioned in connection to Jesus, I get flashbacks to torture scenes.
