Like I said, set your minimum at two if you like. A dead religion has no members, but it's still a religion. It had a church.
-obviously, as durkheim describes it.
Big, small, doesn't matter. The definition fits schismatic religions, stable religions, small religions, big religions, dead religions, living religions. It uses the same metrics at any level of magnification. It's awfully handy, huh? I'm wondering when we're going to get to the money shot where you realize that there isn't anything wrong with durkheims definition of a religion or of a church.
Where you realize that you agree with it in every particular, and never needed argue with me, or pretend that you were dense, on account of it.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom.

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!
