Ah but it can be. It is not just because they do but that dosn't mean just because do it is not. I.E. not all members of groups are religious. But their are groups of people who are. Secular humanism IS one. For one simple reason. The reasons I listed in my first post. They have posistions on such things as God,Heaven and Hell. If at the point a number of trekkies got together and peiced together a group that included thoughts on such things then YES they would be a religion in my eyes if nothing else.
