Talk:Revealed religion

Can you name a single non-revelation religion? This definition seems to encompass almost every religion.Researcher 16:50, 27 December 2007 (EST)

My thoughts exactly. Buddhism, LDS, Mormonism, Rhode Island (wait!), etc. A religion has to have some source, which could pretty much be defined as a revelation of some kind. I don't think we really need this article. human 16:54, 27 December 2007 (EST)

I think there is supposed to be a technical definition, usually between either religions that are based on revelation and those based on "philosophical reasoning" (e.g. Deism). The other distinction I've seen in the past is one based on a relevation to a SINGLE person (Christianity, Islam, Buddhism) and those based on long-standing traditions, etc. (Hinduism, Judaism, Vodun).
