Apophenia, you did a very good job in the discussion here. I really liked your posts.
I have been looking a bit into the seven dimensions that Statler brought up. The impression that I het is that they are a tool to study religions, instead a definition of what a religion actually is. At everal websites where I read about this model, it says it is a tool to analyze religions. An analyzation tool is usually not a very good tool to define something.

When I was a Christian, I was annoyed with dogmatic condescending Christians. Now that I'm an atheist, I'm annoyed with dogmatic condescending atheists. Just goes to prove that people are the same, regardless of what they do or don't believe.
