I do believe that religion is as defined by its Latin origin, a form of binding but it also has a deeper meaning. Its definition is defined by that whom uses it.Therefore there is no one definition but rather a matter of opinion.
ReplyDeleteI believe religion mean different thing to different people but most importantly it all sums up to an acknowledgement of a higher power,having faith in something holy and mighty.

Means so many things to so many, but I have agree with the lady when she says "I'm not a religious person, I am spiritual". Meaning that I am a believer.
