Let me try another approach:
John is a lawyer. He spent a lot of time and trouble learning the law. He graduated from a very tough school for lawyers. He has, over the years, built up a successful law practice. During his career, he has kept abreast of changes in the law, so he is better able to serve his clients' needs. We can say, without fear of contradiction, that John 'practices' law.
Jim is a priest. He spent a lot of time and trouble learning about his religion. He graduated from a very tough seminary. He has, over the years, built up a sizeable congregation. During his career, he has kept abreast of changes in the doctrines of his religion, so he is better able to serve his congregants' needs. We can say, without fear of contradiction, that Jim 'practices' religion.
