My personal definition is:
Any ritualistic attempt to earn the favor or love of an invisible deity or deities. For example: In Budhism, in order to be saved you should escape the world's suffering by achieving Nirvana through enlightenment. In Islam, you should pray 5 times a day, go to Meccha, fast, and maybe blow yourself with terrorist with the hope of get to heaven to satisfy your sexual desires with 72 virgins.
Do you have any Christian background, good or bad experiences?
