::Thanks for answering.  I respectfully disagree!  In a fact-based encyclopedia we shouldn't just list people's competing opinions and give equal prominence to all sides.  It's important to note the underlying facts behind the opinions and note if the facts themselves are controversial.  It is a fact that there is no published evidence showing that wearing red string works.  As I said- it really doesn't matter if someone believes in red string or not- you can't deny that there is no evidence to support this belief.  If people wish- they can choose to believe in the powers of a piece of red string- that is a matter of faith.  However if they want to claim that there is empirical support for this belief then they should be able to source it.  Similarly, I think it's perfectly relevant to state that there is no scientific/historical support for the claimed ressurection of Jesus.  I'm not being skeptical here- I'm being realistic.  To the extent that skeptics adhere to factual views then I side with them when it comes to editing an encyclopedia.  I am not criticizing anyone's faith.
