What is Religion?

What is Religion? There are many different answers to this question. For some people it can be answered by definition while that definition may not apply for others. This question can only be answered by what meaning and value it has to a certain individual. Religion is basically the belief in something of higher existence or power. This could be money to a rich man, shelter to a poor man, or weapons to a terrorist. …

…trust, and loyalty are intertwined to provide the definition of a faith. Being a recovering drug addict has opened my eyes to the value of spirituality and faith. In a certain sense, Narcotics Anonymous has become my religion. In my own experience a religion should not be defined as something solely to do with a God, but rather as a faith in something that has greater power than us and can restore us to sanity.
