Noun
religion (countable and uncountable, plural religions)
- (uncountable) Belief in a spiritual or metaphysical reality (often including at least one deity), accompanied by practices or rituals pertaining to the belief.
- Synonym: faith
- 1902, William James, The Varieties of Religious Experience, Lecture 2:
- Most books on the philosophy of religion try to begin with a precise definition of what its essence consists of. ... I shall not be pedantic enough to enumerate any of them to you now. Meanwhile the very fact that they are so many and so different from one another is enough to prove that the word “religion” cannot stand for any single principle or essence, but is rather a collective name.
- (countable) A particular system of such belief, and the rituals and practices proper to it.
- Synonym: faith
- Hypernym: belief system
- (uncountable) The way of life committed to by monks and nuns.
- (uncountable, informal) Rituals and actions associated with religious beliefs, but considered apart from them.
- Synonym: (pejorative) superstition
- (countable) Any practice to which someone or some group is seriously devoted.
- (uncountable, obsolete) Faithfulness to a given principle; conscientiousness. [16th-17th c.]
Usage notes
- Some prefer a definition of religion that includes only theistic groups, viewing non-theistic religions as merely philosophical systems.
