Is it faith? Is it the belief in God(s)? Is it a belief and ideology set by a person, that is believed by a few? What in your eyes, makes a religion? No definition pasters please, but if you do...I will most likely whine like a bitch and threaten to mute! Ill do it!

I've got a bachelor of arts in religion, and I still don't know the answer to this question. There are, of course, a few dictionary definitions, but they're so vague that they're pretty useless. The majority of the classes I took to earn that degree started with a conversation along the lines of, "There isn't really one good, definite definition of religion, but for this class we'll say it's __________." We picked a definition that fit the class, but really only included a small subset of religions that we were studying at that time.
