ZOROASTRIANISM'S "Link" TO JUDAISM UNPROVEN.
I don't know about the other entries, but this proposed link between Zoroastrainism and Judaism and Christianity does not exist. Some cultural traditions, might be inspired through Zoroastrianism, through intermarriage between Jews and others, but that doesn't mean Zoroastrianism necessarily is responsible for Judaism in anyway shape or form. This article about Zoroastrianism being the grandaddy of Christianity is utterly unproven. -TheEpicLevelHandbook

Christianity and Ancient Egyptian Religion
There are parallels between the Christian idea of the God who is the son of God and comes to Earth as a man and dies and rises to heaven to become God again and the Egyptian myth of Osiris and Horus. This concept was common in the Middle East for thousands of years BC. The Mithra story has elements of it. Seth is probably Satan. The obvious counterpart to Isis is Mary. (The Holy Spirit as God's {Osiris's} detached penis? Maybe this is too much of a stretch.)

Christianity and other religions → ? – The phrase "and other religions" is vague since with its position in the title, the scope of the article can be assumed to be about all religions ... since "Christianity and other religions" = "all religions". To remove the potential confusion with this article title, some possible suggestions on where to move it (that I can think of) are Relationship of Christianity with other religions or Relations of Christianity with other religions. (I'm essentially neutral to any proposal ... but I oppose the current name and I oppose any title that includes the phrase "and other religions".)

 * Support title Relationship of Christianity with other religions, it makes most sense.-- Farang Rak Tham   (Talk) 10:21, 25 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment: if this is changed, then it should probably be implemented as a naming convention to other religion relationship articles to create a WP:CONSISTENT style. Buddhism and Eastern religions, Hinduism and other religions, and Islam and other religions (might be others as well). --Gonnym (talk) 08:53, 4 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment: Relations between Christianity and other religions would be a better title (and fits article titles for relations between countries), but I agree this should be done as a naming convention rather than as a one-off. jamacfarlane (talk) 00:14, 25 March 2020 (UTC)


 * Weak oppose. Relations between Christianity and other religions would be acceptable, but it's a line call at best as to whether it's a better title. The meaning is unchanged. It would be clearer to some speakers of English as a second language, and English Wikipedia is for all English speakers. But at the cost of being less concise and no more precise.

Proposed close
The lead sentence of this article, which is not concise as written, suggests its obvious title:
 * Christianity and other religions documents Christianity's relationship with other world religions, and the differences and similarities.
 * Christianity and other religions This article documents Christianity's relationship with other world religions, and the differences and similarities.

Any objections to moving to Christianity's relationship with other world religions. Speak up now if you object, or I'll move it there. – wbm1058 (talk) 03:41, 10 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the Ping. Remove the word "world" from that, and you got a "weak support" from me. Steel1943  (talk) 03:56, 10 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Asked and answered above.-- Farang Rak Tham   (Talk) 06:33, 10 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Still a weak oppose. Both Christianity's relationship with other world religions and Christianity's relationship with other religions are acceptable titles, but the meaning is unchanged from the current title, and so it's not obvious to me that anything is gained.

see my notes below, and feel free to add your thoughts. Participation here has been thin so this should probably be expanded to a more meta-discussion to try to get more participation and a stronger consensus. But, after making my notes, I'd like your opinion on Christianity and other religions → Comparison of Christianity with other religions, which may help guide the start of any followup discussion. That title would more clearly frame the article as a comparative religion topic. – wbm1058 (talk) 15:36, 10 April 2020 (UTC)

Christianity's relationship with Atheism
Echoing 's comment in 2009, a section about Christianity and Atheism needs to be added. 〜 Festucalex  •  talk  23:18, 21 April 2023 (UTC)
