religion

what is religion?

https://www.allaboutreligion.org/definition-of-religion-faq.htm

The definition of religion is not easy to find. There are many interpretations of what defines a religion but not one that can be said to be the most accurate.

Some of them are:

  • A strong belief in a supernatural power or powers that control human destiny.
  • An institution to express belief in a divine power.
  • A belief concerning the supernatural, sacred, or divine, and the practices and institutions associated with such belief.
  • The sum total of answers given to explain humankind’s relationship with the universe.

The problem lies when the definition includes a deity or superhuman power. For example, atheism is called a religion but the belief denies any power other than man.


In dictionaries, religion is defined as “any specific system of belief, worship, or conduct that prescribes certain responses to the existence (or non-existence) and character of God.” Also, “a set of attitudes, beliefs, and practices pertaining to supernatural power.”

a set of beliefs.. nope. i don't have a set of beliefs. I know the history of a man named Jesus who was born from a girl who was supernaturally impregnated, then 30 years later started a ministry and was slaughtered for it. 
but then he was the only human being ever to come back to life, literally showed people the cut in his sides and the holes in his hands. 
and then physically rose into heaven, never to be seen again. 

I believe in the reason He did it.
