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
