I didn't, that's durkeims definition of a religion . It's been widely employed for quite some time because it seems to capture the essence of what we mean when we use the term religion - and particularly because of it's hypothetical breadth as compared to other definitions of a religion.
But...to be clear...do you think that there's something wrong with durkheims definition of a religion - which you previously stated echoed your own position...., or are you unclear on how religion as defined by durkeim is incapable of avoiding normative statements?

I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
