I think they'd also have to hold beliefs without evidence though. . . and also - where exactly do you draw the line between 'religion' and 'non-religion'?
How do you define it?
What I mean is, it may not be thought of as a religion. . . but if it's basically one in the sense it holds beliefs without evidence and is religious as in it has a certain degree of zealous 'religiosity', then it's basically a religion in every sense whether it's called one or not. . . because belief in God isn't even a requirement because there are religions without belief in God.
