It depends on who's writing the definition. The dictionary definition has already been posted, for those without access to a dictionary. Others have said what THEIRS means TO THEM.
Being committed to logic, and clarity of communication, I go with the dictionary definition, but making this into a poll, suggests that the author had something else in mind.
Please, author, WHY did you try to create a poll about this?

Religion has been responsible for more war, horror, and inhumanity to man than any other force in human history. I cannot understand how mankind can take what is supposed to be the most sacred part of themselves, and use it as an excuse to justify murder, mayhem and atrocities. It is the ultimate in hypocracy. It holds us back in our evolution of the human race. I believe we are living in the age of the fall of organized religion and it just cant come fast enough. Then maybe after all this time people will get back to faith as it was intended to be. Sacred, individual, personal. I hope we will connect with the divine that resides within us all. Back to the garden. wine

Religion is man’s subconscious recognition that there are more powerful forces then himself...for primitive man such a force was natures lightning.....but man had to personify the forces that was more powerful then him.....”a god is the result” but man the eternal hunter had to find a way of trying to manipulate this power.....”we shall serve this power and it will be good to us/do as we wish....”religion was born”professor

In response to: A fraud, a deliberately practiced deception.


I whole heartedly agree! Religion is a set of beliefs/princibles people/s agree upon to attain higher/divine favor...whatever the beliefs or pricibles may be.

However, anyone who read/s the Bible, with the intent to know God in a deeper level, will come to realize that believing in Christ(being a Christian) and all God says in His word is not religion at all, but a way to live one's life before a real God and those around us.

In other words, apart from other religions, Christianity is God reaching to man through Christ, religion is man reaching to God through religion. conversing
