Define "religion". No, seriously. People assume they know what it means, what being "religious" means, what it looks like. But what is religion?That's the great thing about Christianity. You can keep your culture while being a part of it only discarding the portions of it that contradict the doctrine.
I think of religion much more like an organization of like mind people who share similar goals, values, & hopes while adhering to the tenets of the organization.
A good religion has much more in common with a corporate or government structure than it does a society since it is, by its very nature, discriminatory towards those who wish to practice it or be a part of it.
That always sounds worse than it is but it is perfectly normal.
