How do you define Religion?

Answer 1

well it is a way of conning people out of large anounts of money , and the stories are not truthful and hard to to believe

Nine-year-old Joey, was asked by his mother what he
Had learned in Sunday school.

"Well, Mom, our teacher told us how God sent Moses
Behind enemy lines on a rescue mission to lead the
Israelites out of Egypt. When he got to the Red Sea,
He had his army build a pontoon bridge and all the
People walked across safely.

Then, he radioed headquarters for reinforcements.
They sent bombers to blow up the bridge and all the
Israelites were saved."

"Now, Joey, is that really what your teacher taught
You?" his mother asked.

"Well, no, Mom. But, if I told it the way the teacher
Did, you'd never believe it!"

Answer 2

I think religion might be defined as a way a person believes, has faith and worships God, there are many religions, but all Gods are same and all religions believe in God, so religion is not important, but faith and trust in God matters a lot. God is Great!
Have A Happy New Year!

1. noun: strong belief in a supernatural power or powers that control human destiny
2. noun: institution to express belief in a divine power

The New Encyclopædia Britannica says that “as far as scholars have discovered, there has never existed any people, anywhere, at any time, who were not in some sense religious.”

"Besides its antiquity, religion also exists in great variety. ...
The diversity in religion is truly staggering."

"Since there are marked differences as well as similarities among them, did they start independently, or could they have developed from one source? Why did religion begin at all? And how?"

"In almost every religion, we can find a central figure to whom credit is given for establishing the ‘true faith.’ "

"Even though these individuals are considered founders of the major religions that we are familiar with, ... In most cases, their teachings grew out of existing religious ideas, even though most of them claimed divine inspiration as their source. Or they changed and modified existing religious systems that had become unsatisfactory in one way or another."
