I was a Philosophy Student and wanted to ask or at minimum discuss (so as to persuade your minds - since that apparently is what we need to do in order to get things done in societies); that the use of the word Philosophy is incorrect in most places, and should be replaced with Creed, or Ideology, or just  simply call it a General Set of Beliefs (GSBs).

I know many, especially perhaps those outside of the English speaking world as persons whose second language is English, might find my point pedantic. However, just as I LOVE learning more about the 40k universe for example on the 'wikia page'. I think we all can and should love learning new, and 'as correct as possible', things. And THEREFORE, the use of the word philosophy is wrong in almost all contexts on this and most other websites. If I have to alter and correct people's minds and notions on this most 'Fun' of websites, rather than on supposedly important social media sites, then so be it... This is a call for reason on all of your parts, but I would definitely accept discussion on this topic, especially as a fun way to determine a new (somewhat offical) word or phrase to replace where Philosophy has been misused.

The Truth/Facts are quite simple on this topic here and just as a final point... I'll describe that basically Philsophy is almost synonymous or analogous with Logic. And that Logic isn't a SET IN STONE LIST of beliefs, but instead is the METHOD through which ONE comes up with a set of beliefs. Even the Wikipedia page for 'Philosophy' recognises that this discipline (discipline of philosophy) is one of ACTION and an action is a METHOD that one uses. Therefore, I SUGGEST to being the discussion, that Philosophy can still be used, but as a description of [(Logical) Methods Used], and that Creed or Ideology or Belief (if the belief is singular).

For Example: I believe that one should never harm another person for selfish reasons (e.g Greed, or Jealousy, etc.). The word belief is even in the sentence there... and perhaps saying that: I have seen so much greed and jealousy in my life by others, and each time it has lead to people being hurt, would act as the logical proof to support your belief stated at the beginning. And to bridge your supportive claim to your belief claim would be philosophy; that is this discipline's position in General Knowledge Aquisition and the general Understanding of Things.
