What is usually now called "History of Religion" in English (German: Religionsgeschichte) is a recognised academic discipline with university departments devoted to it, and is quite distinct from "Religious Studies" (Religionswissenschaft). In my opinion, therefore, it should certainly have a separate article. The present article "History of religions", moreover, would in my view serve better under the German title of the (German) movement, by which it is generally known even in English-language scholarship.

I agree, there is no history in this article. Headlessrider (talk) 17:59, 7 July 2008 (UTC) I would suggest incorporating a structure similar to the Timeline of religion[reply]

The current article is the result of a merger of two articles. However, it seems there are numerous problems with the merger. Firstly two leads follow each other. The topic is introduced twice. Secondly, there are 'see also' lists in the middle of the article when they should be at the bottom per WP:layout.Kobolola (talk) 22:10, 31 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
