Where did that definition come from, anyway? I've never seen one like that in a dictionary. E.g., http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/religion:
1
a : the state of a religious <a nun in her 20th year of religion>
b (1) : the service and worship of God or the supernatural (2) : commitment or devotion to religious faith or observance
2
: a personal set or institutionalized system of religious attitudes, beliefs, and practices
3
archaic : scrupulous conformity : conscientiousness
4
: a cause, principle, or system of beliefs held to with ardor and faith
I have to say this "relationship with Jesus Christ" that folks like to talk about seems very much like a religion by this definition. Besides, the also do have a whole lot of beliefs they hold to with ardor and faith!
