It's like one liberal organization quoting another liberal organization. I found Wikipedia definitions and discussions of certain theology especially poor at best. Because by their own admission, verifiable Truth is not the criteria for inclusion, but verifiable accreditation, though that

Wikipedia's core sourcing policy, Wikipedia:Verifiability, previously defined the threshold for inclusion in Wikipedia as "verifiability, not truth". "Verifiability" was used in this context to mean that material added to Wikipedia must have been published previously by a reliable source.

The phrase "the threshold for inclusion is verifiability, not truth" meant that verifiability is a necessary condition (a minimum requirement) for the inclusion of material, though it is not a sufficient condition (it may not be enough). Sources must also be appropriate, and must be used carefully, and must be balanced relative to other sources per Wikipedia's policy on due weight. [but not in regards to conservative views]

Wikipedia's articles are intended as intelligent summaries and reflections of current published knowledge within the relevant fields, an overview of the relevant literature. The Verifiability policy is related to another core content policy, Neutral point of view, which holds that we include all significant views on a subject.

Meaning that as I found out, absurd interpretations of Scripture as regards its treatment of homosexual relations were included since they could be sourced to "scholarly" liberal sources.

And in regard to the Bahá'í Faith article , I was not allowed (repeatedly deleted) to to cite statements from their own authoritative interpretations of their beliefs since it was a primary source! Instead, only what others say about it might be allowed (which exposed it to be contrary to the infomercial the article is). I showed them I could also do that also, but that primary source material can be allowed in some cases.

Thus no one knows from the article that their christ, the self-proclaimed propet "Bahá'u'lláh," is declared to be the "supreme Manifestation of God," with all other manifestations being servants unto Him and do His bidding:

His Holiness the Exalted One (the Báb) is the Manifestation of the unity and oneness of God and the Forerunner of the Ancient Beauty. His Holiness the Abhá Beauty (Bahá’u’lláh) (may my life be a sacrifice for His steadfast friends) is the supreme Manifestation of God and the Day-Spring of His most divine Essence. All others are servants unto Him and do His bidding.” ; http://reference.bahai.org/en/t/se/WOB/wob-39.html

and with a goal of a new World Order, in which the Bahá'í Faith is the universal religion, " for "reality does not accept multiplicity, nor is it subject to divisibility." (Abdu’l‑Bahá, The Promulgation of Universal Peace, 1912; www.bahai.org/r/152498792) And in which "The first duty prescribed by God for His servants is the recognition of Him [Baha'u'llah] Who is the Dayspring of His Revelation and the Fountain of His laws, Who representeth the Godhead." .."whoso is deprived thereof hath gone astray, though he be the author of every righteous deed." (The Kitab-i-Aqdas, THE MOST HOLY BOOK, 1992, p. 19; Baha’i World Centre, Haifa, Israel; www.bahai.org/r/495703799)

Which is envisioned to

consist of a world legislature, whose members will, as the trustees of the whole of mankind, ultimately control the entire resources of all the component nations, and will enact such laws as shall be required to regulate the life, satisfy the needs and adjust the relationships of all races and peoples. A world executive, backed by an international Force, will carry out the decisions arrived at, and apply the laws enacted by, this world legislature,

A world federal system, ruling the whole earth and exercising unchallengeable authority over its unimaginably vast resources..(Proclamation of Bahá’u’lláh, by Bahá’u’lláh; http://reference.bahai.org/en/t/se/WOB/wob-56.html)

And in which faith,

The Greatest Name ["Bahá"] should be found upon the lips in the first awakening moment of early dawn. It should be fed upon by constant use in daily invocation, in trouble, under opposition, and should be the last word breathed when the head rests upon the pillow at night. It is the name of comfort, protection, happiness, illumination, love and unity.

The use of the Greatest Name and dependence upon it, cause the soul to strip itself of the husks of mortality and to step forth freed, reborn, a new creature….”(Lights of Guidance, by Helen Hornby. ‘Abdu’l-Bahá: United States Supplement to Bahá’í News, No. 80, p. 2, October 1964; https://bahai.works/Lights_of_Guidance/The_Greatest_Name,)

Among other conflicts, Bahá'í teachings contradicts the classic Christian belief of the Fall of man and consequently substitutionary atonement, as well as most Christian theology on Regeneration (theology), seeing it as unreasonable that Justice requires inflicting punishment upon the posterity of Adam for Adam’s own sin and disobedience, as well as the atonement of Christ redeeming such men as all the holy prophets. Instead, Bahá'u'lláh taught that suffered all tribulation and hardships from the people and finally offered His life as a sacrifice in order to illumine humanity—gave His blood in order to guide the world of mankind." gave His blood in order to guide the world of mankind.
