 : Andrew c, I appreciate your specific critiques, although I disagree somewhat. I did qualify the term myth, with the introduction of sociology. Christianity is regarded in sociology as a religious myth system, as are all other religions with myths. This is a valid academic categorization and should be allowed to remain to reflect the current and ongoing dispute surrounding the historical potential of Jesus Christ. This would be why many reputable scholars categorize the Pro side as the ""positive estimate"" and the anti as the ""negative estimate"" in academic journals like the Journal of Bible and Religion (Oxford University Press) and The American Journal of Theology for example - my sources are the academic collections of JSTOR, EBSCO and MUSE. These POV positions are positions and not objective fact. If you would like to paraphrase a specific scholar's specific assertion, and allow me to contribute information to the contrary, I have no problem with it being stated as an opinion. NPOV states (emphasis mine), ""The neutral point of view is a means of dealing with conflicting views. The policy requires that, where there are or have been conflicting views, these should be presented fairly. None of the views should be given undue weight or asserted as being the truth, and all significant published points of view are to be presented, not just the most popular one. It should also not be asserted that the most popular view or some sort of intermediate view among the different views is the correct one. Readers are left to form their own opinions."" And I would offer to table discussions of placement until we can come to a better understanding of the issues at hand."
