What's the definition of religion, that you believe to be valid?
If it is not "the exercises for the maintenance of dignity," then it is wrong.
Please cite your source from which you got this definition.
I was going to deconstruct you entire response to me, but anyone with this definition for religion may not be worth the time.
And anyone who claims that their definition (that is unique to only themself) is the only correct one, is certainly not worth the time.
