Description
An encyclopedia with a politically conservative viewpoint and friendly to creationism and Christianity. The site is partly aimed at homeschooled children from traditional Christian homes. Conservapedia has almost 25,000 users.
The site has spawned another couple of sites:
- RationalWiki, dedicated to disputing the various claims of pseudoscience and the anti-science movement, which has a section about the viewpoints presented by Conservapedia.
- Liberapedia, a parody wiki that purports to be a liberal equivalent of Conservapedia.
