The first sentence is talking about Ninian Smart, religious scholar. As written, it is easy to see the second sentence as a misspelling suggesting that Ninian Smart intended his scheme to be used as criteria, but as you can see [http://books.google.com/books?id=14j2UrLCi64C&pg=PA130&lpg=PA130&dq=ninian+smart+narrative&source=bl&ots=Hq3WwG_mVT&sig=j-8FpwSdqohURYodSdcl46erSJY&hl=en&sa=X&ei=FgybT6zxIc-_gAe864X6Dg&ved=0CCoQ6AEwAQ#v=onepage&q=ninian%20smart%20narrative&f=false here] on page 2, he meant for his scheme to be descriptive; these are seven things to look at when defining any worldview, secular or religious, and not a means of determining if something is or isn't a religion. The second sentence is talking about Daniel Smartt (two ts), pastor, who is interpreting (and misinterpreting, I believe) Ninian Smart's scheme, mistaking them for criteria. Read the reference and let me know if you agree.

:::I looked at it briefly and it appears as if there is too little data at that link for you to form your conclusion. If memory serves, Smart uses 7 yardsticks for example and I don't see a mention of 7 yardsticks. [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] 14:54, 6 May 2012 (EDT)

:::Thanks for the input. I helped someone with a project until late in the night and then went to church this morning. I will address this issue when I am more well rested. For now, I think I will take a well deserved nap. :) [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] 14:54, 6 May 2012 (EDT)
