Quote:No, John practices law. Jim follows a religion.
Law, at least in the west is intended to protect pluralism equally. Jim follows a religion because he think he got it right.
Sure you can get degrees in theology, but to me that is like being an expert in Star Wars or Harry Potter.
"Follow" a religion is an honest word. "Practice" a religion, is merely a dodge to justify your own personal bias when it comes to thinking your label is the origin of human behaviors.
Certainly someone can spend tons of time absorbing a religion, but that is still following.
John can practice law being a Jew or a Christian, and Mustafa can also practice law in America and practice law. But a priest or Rabbi or Cleric are following a religion.
The word "Practice" as used by holy people or followers, isn't an honest admission that they merely like what they believe. Follow is an honest word.
This is getting silly. There is no sensible distinction between what Jim and John are doing. If there were - under your petty usage - it would be impossible for anyone to 'follow' the law.
