For those inclined to fix this page up, it needs the following work:
- Determine if the title is appropriate, or if it needs to be moved somewhere else. Should "Gregorian" be in the title or something else?
- Include a better summary at the top of what the argument is trying to say.
- Just what sub-category of Category:Arguments for the existence of God does this belong in anyway? I looked through the list, and "majority arguments" seemed like the best match, but I'm not sure. I thought this should be placed in the same category as America is a Christian nation, but that remains without a sub-category as well.
