Apart from Jehovah’s Witnesses and Scientology, does any major religious group practice shunning?

As far as I know, none do.

For the record, I strongly oppose the practice of shunning, and I think it amounts to incitement of hatred. It is unscriptural and has no basis in Church tradition - so Jehovahs can’t even use that excuse.

How do I update the "Major Religious Groups" Wiki page to add Sikhi as a major religion.

The Wiki Page was updated!

A majority of sites cite their information from the Wiki. But there is something wrong with the "Major Religious Groups" page. [ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Major_religious_groups ]

​

https://preview.redd.it/wm1uy1fvmsj51.png?width=210&format=png&auto=webp&s=4e7e5d0be9a7eda74d9a565faa7d276fbdc0a7ff

A chart is shown above, which is located on the page, shows the top 4 religions but it skips Sikhi. Judaism is mentioned in the bottom even tho it has a population of 0.2%.

​

Location near the bottom

According to the wiki page itself, Sikhi has more than double the population than Judaism!

​

How do I fix this?

The US Army is compromised by fundamentalist religious groups (and so is the UFO community ?)

As a preamble, as a non american person, i'd like to underline the fact that this is not an anti american rant, the same critic could be made from any other countries (my own country would deserve many posts on its own...). I only emphasize on the US Army here because it's so related to the topic of this subreddit.

Also, despite the beginning of this post, this IS about UFOs and this community.

The US Army is compromised by fundamentalist religious groups...

The US Army has a very important document titled "General Order Number One" that prohibits "proselytizing of any religion, faith or practice". Yet this document has been openly violated countless times. You can see a worrying number of videos of proselytizing army upper grades.

An example here :

https://www.au.org/church-state/june-2009-church-state/people-events/afghan-video-reveals-problems-with-proselytism-by

Multiple cases of bibles financed by evangelical churches in the US being given to Afghan population have been reported (this might explain the tremendous success in this war...). Many denominations are responsible, apparently.

Once a Pentecostal chaplain told cadets to "accept Christ or burn in hell", to which the Air Force investigative panel refused punishment since this behavior was "not uncommon" in this denomination. A Lutheran chaplain, quoted in the article linked here, MeLinda Morton, said that the evangelical pressure was "systematic".

Remember the highly religious speeches of Bush Jr to justify the war in Irak (refering to it as "Gog and Magog"...) or the endorsement by general David Petraeus of the book "Under orders : a spiritual handbook for military personel" by Air Force lieutenant colonel William McCoy, which says in it that the separation between church and state is a "twisted idea".

I wholeheartedly reject the "psy-op" term and call this behavior for what it is, prozelytizing and propaganda. This is another problem in this community that should be adressed in another post on itself, the childish pseudo cryptic language used here for pretended PR reasons (intel = spy, long time consistency in testimony = gaslighting, psy-op = propaganda, breadcrumbs = confusing correlation and causality...etc) ... or when the PR transforms into RP !

And this penetration, this propaganda isn't limited to only evangelical groups, muslim groups hav
