I think something can be classified as a religion if there's at least one core belief in common between a group of people that relate Humans to some important philosophical/existential question and there's a divine explanation.
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
