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)
