[edit] Requested move

Ethical Society → Ethical Culture – Article discusses the "Ethical Culture" movement more than it does an individual chapter of the movement, i.e., an "Ethical Society". Move is currently obstructed by a redirect page.

[edit] Religion?

I don't see WHY this is a religion, as understanded by everyone. They call it "religion", but I think we should say "so-called religion", because they don't have gods (as theistics do) nor other metaphysical realm (as nontheistic religions do). They are just Ethical atheists... --Damifb 23:26, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

I believe that something less POV than "so-called" could be used. Perhaps something like "self-identified" that indicates that they identify themselves as a religion, but that others do not feel they are. Such a statement would also require some sort of citation. "So-called" also makes one ask the question "so called by whom?" Ben Hocking (talk|contribs) 01:11, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Rudolf Steiner's skepticism

In his autobiography Steiner presents his evaluation of the idea behind the establishment of this movement. Perhaps something of this merits mentioning in the present article. __meco —Preceding unsigned comment added by Meco (talk • contribs) 08:53, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
