You likely need to spend some time in a real classroom studying the subject.

How can you even define religion when all the scholars putting forth definitions can't even agree?

I have had multiple definitions from various people..you can have 2 professors teaching anthropology that will give you different definitions.

Many of them would NOT agree with this thread.

If I claim to not be religious that thats what I mean, actaully. These semantic words games are getting old. You seek to simplify something that cannot be simplified this way and in turn end up making straw man arguements. I have no need, desire or obligation to lay claim to a term that is rooted in such obscurity and ambiguity.

I find it weird that you would come here to tell others what they are.

There are also indigenous peoples who dont lay any claim to the term. When asked they will say no, they dont have religion because they dont need that sort of thing. Who are you to come here and tell them any different just becasue some guy on TV who likely never even looked into what he talking about says so?
