How do you define religion?

Even though I am challenged almost daily in my beliefs, in my existence, in the reason for my being and living here in the United States, I love that I am transforming.

I think Reconstructionist Judaism, the tradition in which I was raised, has significantly informed my sense of humor, my belief in the importance of social justice, my interest in interfaith work and community, and my love of learning.

Religion in Spokane is notoriously ghettoized, which is to say, we ‘talk’ and ‘listen’ on sites like this one, but in the process we discover how afraid we are of being ignorant, or being wrong, or being unfaithful, and so we scurry back to that enclave where people think and believe like us.

Religion is like a recipe that points the Way to the Tao, the Dharma, the Way, the Truth, and the Life.

There is no way for religion to disappear because it comes from the way our brains function.

Is religion defined by its organization?
