→Definition and implications
::The word religion has a few different meanings. And most definitions in MW refer to beliefs in the divine and the supernatural. And only one definition refers to the broader meaning as a set of core beliefs. That is a useful distinction, and we should make it too. There is a difference between the Roman Catholic Church, and a bunch of person who have no belief and don't quite care, as many agnostics or "no-religion" people do. And in the article, and I tried to do this, I tried to make the distinction between actual religions, like the once included ARDA overview, and philosophies and systems of beliefs such as secular humanism.

::Personally I'm not a big fan of the broad brush stroke used to paint the religion picture. By the definitions given, being pro-abortion could be considered to be a religion. I feel, personally, we should have stuck to the primary definition. Religion should have something to do with belief in God (gods) or the supernatural.
