What is a religion? Is it just a story passed down from generation to generation? A book   books? A belief, like the belief of santa or the easter bunny? What is it?

It's a way of life. Plain and simple

I agree. Its not just going somewhere on a certain day, believing in something, or listening to a story.
Its a choice to live your life out in a specific way. And though belief is also required, its not something people often just grow out of. Especially since many people don't start out believing it in the first place. It usually requires dedication, belief, obedience, and sacrifice in order to truly be the religion you live for.
Well, thats my view at least.

For me, I see religion more as a guidance through life. Things to consider and take to heart.

Of course, I believe in the spiritual aspect of religion, but I am more drawn to the messages and teaching than the gods and goddesses, save for the Greeks. I'm addicted to Greek gods/desses.

I think a religion is a way of life, a greater reson in life then just loving yourself. A teaching about how to live your life, and do good in the world.

Jesus was a great teacher and a wise man. Though I'm no Christian or any denomination, I take a lot of the Bible to heart. Tolerating and accepting others, turning the other cheek, not being judgmental, and only "casting the first stone" if I am free of sin... and of course the Golden Rule which I've strived to live by my entire life.

Religion Agnostic, I suppose. I'm open to the idea of a God but I'm not sure if I believe in Christianity completely.
Why do you want to join? I like the idea of coexistence, because there is none anywhere except on the internet.
Will you try to stay active in the discussions here? Is there anything about your activity we should know? I'll try to stay somewhat active, but I don't get online very much.
Any recommendations to make this thread more accurate, reliable, etc? not really

What is a religion?

A path that has been walked before by others, and who have laid out their experiences, wisdom and guidelines to follow.
