A religion is a set of tenets and practices, often centered upon specific supernatural and moral claims about reality, the cosmos, and human nature, and often codified as prayer, ritual, or religious law.
Religion also encompasses ancestral or cultural traditions, writings, history, and mythology, as well as personal faith and religious experience. The term "religion" refers to both the personal practices related to communal faith and to group rituals and communication stemming from shared conviction.

Now that is a very wide definition and I can tell you that clearly from this definition then I can safely claim that the term "religion" therefore refers to different religious groups (in other words that there are many religions) teaching different beliefs (there are hundreds of beliefs)
That is why you should not belief in religion or base your faith in any religious groups (I know someone is ready to persecute me for saying that) other than the word of God.
The word of God in the book of Ephesians Chapter 4 Verse 5 says that:
Quote:
There is one body and one Spirit - just as you were called to one hope when you were called
One Lord, one faith, one baptism;
One God and father of all, who is over all and through all and in all. |
