I believe religion to be any activity, or group of activities, that people place a greater deal of effort into than they "need," especially if said activity (activities) gives a transcendant experience or feeling of some sort. Religions need not be orthodoxic (doctrine or faith based, i.e.- Most western religions), they can also be orthopraxic (practice or action based, i.e.- Hinduism).
But there're always going to be religions that stand out from any definition, especially with Sheilaism on the rise. Just as people are near infinitely variable (at least mentally), so are their religions.
