Yes, most words do.
But with putting it in context of religion, really all that is is an psychological argument to justify why one is good and falsely attaches our ability to be good to mythology, instead of accepting that compassion and empathy are in our evolution.
You can find in every religion in the world, motifs of kindness and empathy. That says to me it isn't a religion doing it, but is a product of our evolution. If any one religion were a solution to human ills, it could be taken to a patent office and be the subject of a Nobel Peace Prize.
"Practice" in regards to using it in context of religion, is merely a dodge to justify what one personally follows.
If one can accept others who do not hold the same label are capable of empathy and compassion, then that should tell them, humans, not the label, are doing it.
