religious addiction

[Rhizomorph13]

So it might be possible for religion to be an addiction, but not because of the time spent on it but on whether it causes harm or not..... which is really down to personal opinion.

Certainly; almost anything we are drawn too can become an addiction. It could be something obvious like Heroin or something weird like eating hair. It depends on the behavior and pattern of use. It is possible to use Heroin and not become addicted by limiting frequency of use. I wouldn't reccomend it but it is possible.

There is a line between enthusiast and addict that isn't well defined. I think that "harm" is a good metric for differentiating between enthusiast and addict.
