Usually, titles should be precise enough to unambiguously define the topical scope of the article, but no more precise than that.
I mean, are there many modern Canaanites running around? "Canaanite religion" in and of itself already describes an ancient former belief system and, afaik, there is no "modern Canaanite religion"
of any importance that needs to be distinguished. The article itself already starts with Canaanite religion and not ancient Canaanite... —

One footnote seems to be phrased in a way that is either a departure from the neutral point of view or represents original research.
I don't think it's an unreasonable statement but I'm interested to see how it fits in with the rules.
This is my first time posting so please tell me if footnotes are exempt from these principles.
El is just a general word for any god. Not for the Jewish God.
El is being conflated with Yaweh. This is like saying Thor is Yaweh because he's called a god and so is Yaweh. The El page simply doesn't support this reading. El is just a general term for any god. The idea that Yaweh was split from a Cainenite pantheon seems fringe. Especially in light of Jewish distaste for pantheism.

Proposed section: Evolution into Israelite Religion
Given that the Canaanite religious system was subject to a cultural evolution that ultimately resulted in the earliest forms of the Israelite religious system, think there should be a section on this page that covers the elements of this socio-religious transformation in the region.

Absolutely agree. I don't know how to add it to the page, but a good source is The Early History of God : Yahweh and the Other Deities in Ancient Israel by Mark Smith.
