[QUOTE="worldwide, post: 5126925, member: 2193"] A fact by whose definition? If religion is defined as the following, it's a religion. If you don't subscribe to this definition of religion, than what is your definition? Could be simply semantics - religion is a belief system. "Religion is a set of organized beliefs, practices, and systems that most often relate to belief and worship of a controlling force such as a personal god or another supernatural being. While this is a basic definition, [B]there are many different understandings of what religion is and not all religions are centered on a belief in a god, gods, or supernatural forces.[/B] Religion often involves cultural beliefs, worldviews, texts, prophecies, revelations, and morals that have spiritual meaning to members of the particular faith, and it can encompass a range of practices including sermons, rituals, prayer, meditation, holy places, symbols, trances, and feasts."
