The definitions I gave were dictionary definitions that didn't single out a solitary religion. Which most definitions I found did.

I'm saying - what constitutes a religion? You have god/s which are supposed to give you guidelines and/or dictate the way you should live your life. You have subordinate 'authorities'. Then you have rules, consequences for breaching those rules and rewards for abiding by them. You are generally expected to tell other people about the religion/faith or 'enlighten' them if you prefer. These qualities are also to have been responsible for the creation of the universe yet there is only ever limited evidence that it/he/she/they were. And most if not all religions predict the destruction of mankind. Since things are worshipped in various religions as well (not just immortal or invisible beings) - a God can also be physical.

Add to this if I've missed anything - but this raises the question whether it's possible to have no religion at all or whether we are just slapping new names on old theories.
