Answer 1

Religion is man's word, not God's.

Answer 2

It is commonly understood as a group of beliefs or attitudes concerning an object (real or imagined), person (real or imagined), or system of thought considered to be supernatural, sacred, or divine, and the moral codes, practices, values, institutions, and rituals associated with such belief or system of thought. It is sometimes used interchangeably with "faith" or "belief system"[1] In the course of the development of religion, it has taken many forms in various cultures and individuals.
Occasionally, the word "religion" is used in the more restrictive sense of "organized religion" — that is, an organization of people supporting the exercise of some religion, often taking the form of a legal entity

Answer 3

Religion, broadly defined, is the performance of ritual. What most people think of is "organized" religion, i.e, Catholicism, Judaism, Protestantism, Buddhism, etc. But if you don't feel good unless you do the same things at the same time every day, you are religious all the same, even if you don't belong to an organized religion or church. (This outdoes the dictionary, because it includes some explanation.)
