Thread: Category name change from Christian to Religious

  1. #1

    Exclamation Category name change from Christian to Religious

    Rather than having Christian as the music sub category, it would be better to have it called religious or if not add other forms of religion added.

    If you change the wording, could you also move the auctions to the new worded category

    I agree, but this is really a can of worms. Just how many religions do you list? No matter how many (or few) you will get complaints from someone.

    Hence why the name change to just religious would then be for all religions

    It is a very slippery slope indeed.

    But that is the point, don't list any specific just list it as Music/religious. Category can not have 100,000 items in it so it would not be too large to sort, get thru.

    It is a slippery slope when you call all religious music "Christian".

    What about
    Music - Religious & Spiritual

    Would that cover all without treading on anyones beliefs?
    Then sub categorise if & when needed.

    I really hate the term "religious"... How much music from other faiths is listed?

    Putting Christian music under such a heading as "religious and spiritual" would offend me, for a start (other faiths do offended, so I'm starting to do so as well)
