:I'm certainly open to broadening the scope. There was already some information on specific religions, their history, beliefs and practices and I've greatly expanded those articles (with help). I've started many articles on the psychology of religion, which compliments articles on logical fallacies. At the same time, I've been removing information on general science, the paranormal and pseudoscience as this information was covered elsewhere (this is where RationalWiki is far better). I've also started articles on the state of religion and secularism for each country, but this is somewhat duplicating the [https://fot.humanists.international/ Freedom of Thought Report], so I'm wondering if they should be retained. There is also a whole series of articles about religious/philosophical concepts that were added to support and provide more depth than appears on each apologetic article - religious concepts that have little to do with apologetics are generally avoided (but should they be?). Some articles deal with [[Humanism]] and [[secularism]] but I've given them less attention. In other words, the scope has already grown but without much planning!

:Also, there is a case that should only gradually increase the scope because can lead to many low quality stub articles that detract more than they add.--[[User:TimSC|TimSC]] ([[User talk:TimSC|talk]]) 18:05, 6 May 2019 (UTC)

:I'm new here but thought I'd put this out to help germinate ideas. It's a [https://www.stopindoctrination.org site] I made to collect favorite arguments and links gleaned broadly from across the internet and within the scope of arguments made by religious people. It has a couple of special features: 1) All of the text and links are tailored to the selected religion and the visitor's country. So Catholics will get content about transubstantiation and Fundamentalists will get content about young earth creation. Americans will get content about Christian Nationalism 2)It has buttons for copying and pasting responses into social media threads, 3) You can play videos inline, one after another, and they stay put as you scroll the page 4) I think the page's layout is very simple and navigable. {{unsigned|NonBellRinger|00:03, 2 August 2020β€Ž}}
