Evaluate the article
'''Is everything in the article relevant to the article topic? Is there anything that distracted you?'''

Yes, everything in the article is relevant, however there is not sufficient information and lacks other body paragraphs about other religions.

'''Is any information out of date? Is anything missing that could be added?'''

Religion doesn't expire as most beliefs remain the same but like stated before, information about other religions is missing.

'''Can you identify any notable equity gaps? Does the article underrepresent or misrepresent historically marginalized populations?'''

What else could be improved?

The article doesn't represent the impact of other religions such as Hinduism and Sikhism.

'''Is the article neutral? Are there any claims that appear heavily biased toward a particular position?'''

Yes, the article is neutral, not biased.

Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented?

Most the article could have information added in all sections but none is overrepresented.

'''Check a few citations. Do the links work? Does the source support the claims in the article?'''

Yes, the links work and are relevant to their claims.

'''Is each fact referenced with an appropriate, reliable reference? Where does the information come from? Are these neutral sources? If biased, is that bias noted?'''

Each fact that has a reference is reliable as the source is neutral and comes from an accredited source.
