This article does not reflect the way the term "Eastern religion" is actually used. In common usage, the "Eastern" religions are those that originated in Idia and China and are currently the dominant religions of Asia. Judaism, Christianity, and Islam are considered Western religions because they originated in the western part of Asia and are currently the dominant religions of Europe and the Americas.

All of today's major world religions originated in Asia, so classifying all Asian religions as "Eastern" isn't very useful. Pterodactyler 15:22, 13 August 2005 (UTC)

The only remotely useful information on this incomplete page is the somewhat-dubious definition of 'Eastern Religion'. The rest can be found at the religions' respective pages. If there is no objection before tomorrow, I am going to rewrite this page. Turly-burly 07:14, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

Why is there only the Dharmic religions here? What about Taoism and Confucianism? And don't the folk and animistic religions get a say?

Working towards improvement

I have been adding summary style sections and rewriting sections as summaries. I have been improving the sourcing and trying to improve the writing overall. If anyone has any comments, criticisms or suggestions, they would be quite welcome. Vassyana 16:11, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

I have been working here and on the Gurus article, which I think is getting pretty comprehensive. I think rather than making a Guru section here, we could just link to Gurus. What do people here think? Actually, is there anyone here? Rumiton 15:07, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
