A note to conspiracy theorists: If you think that the world is controlled by some Satanic plot by the Communists, Jews, Illuminati, Freemasons, Catholic Church, lizard people, greys, or whatever, keep in mind Wikipedia would be a front for them if such a conspiracy exists. You're not gonna win here, it's no trouble to block you. Just walk away.

The neutral point of view and reliable source policies seems to frustrate a lot of people that strongly hold to any given worldview. Since I'm more familiar with Christian worldviews, I'll address those. I've encountered a lot of people that have tried to push their POV into different articles because they thought it was the Christian thing to do. Since I've learned that many of my brothers and sisters don't share my attitude towards evangelism ("Preach the Gospel at all times, but only use words when necessary" -- St. Francis of Assisi, [apocryphal]), I've decided to take an approach they'll be more familiar with.

Wikipedia's policies, particularly the neutral point of view policy and sourcing policies, are not just acceptable to Christianity, but (if you believe Christianity is true) to Christianity's advantage.

Blessed is the man who finds wisdom, the man who gains understanding, for she is more profitable than silver and yields better returns than gold. She is more precious than rubies; nothing you desire can compare with her. Long life is in her right hand; in her left hand are riches and honor. Her ways are pleasant ways, and all her paths are peace. She is a tree of life to those who embrace her; those who lay hold of her will be blessed.
-- Proverbs 3:13-18
