what is the Definition of Religion?

[Hulk]

my definition of religion is to be God or resemble God. my way of thinking is religion isn't only a human thing but every creatures aspirations to become and resemble God. 

What about yours? 

[Leo Gura]

The ego's desperate attempt to grasp God.

[ZzzleepingBear]

I see religion as a sort of public transport. A train if you will. A public transport can take you from A to B. It provides a collective common ground. But for anyone who have the ability or curiosity to question further than that, might wonder what happened to the rest of all the letters.

The ego's desperate attempt to move away from God 

Religion is a medium of communication with God

My definition of religion is a delusional narrative created by the ego to provide itself with a sense of security.
