Religion

An organized group of typically many people who share similar beliefs and in most cases believe in one or more gods or deities. Many religions have symbols and sacred histories as well as narratives intended to explain the meaning or origin of life and teach values and principles. There have been many religions over the course of history, some helpful and some destructive. Religion is often blamed for causing most of the world's problems, however the blame should be placed on the persons and/or nations that caused them and not the religion they belonged to. Conflict would exist with our without religion, however many easily-offended atheists would have you believe otherwise.
Many people belong to a religion.

Catholicism is a very old religion that has been around for many years.

conflation of religion and politics

Something unnecessary that is done far too often by immature, unintelligent people who feel the need to put a label on everything and cannot accept that not everything fits into their cookie cutter images.

One example of such ridiculous is found in the top definition of the term "libtard" (wow, what an intellectual, mature argument against liberalism lol). According to this definition, the politically liberal are all bound to Hell, unless they agree 100% with every single thing that that the definer and his political party say.

It's so funny how they accuse atheists (and anybody who is religious and liberal, which for some reason is the same as being an atheist to these immature conflators) of not being patriotic, but then will go up to bash about how liberals and atheists are "ruining America" and will bitch and moan about America's current state... but when liberals say that America is great now and can get even better by learning a thing or two form other countries... then suddenly they're antiAmerican communists?
For examples of the immature conflation of religion and politics, just look at the vast majority of definitions on here :) Lol.

Due to the conflation of religion and politics, people honestly think that being a conservative Republican who votes for George Bush, John McCain, Mitt Romney, and Donald Trump will get them into Heaven.

No, "conservative" does not automatically mean "religious" which does not automatically mean "spiritual" which does not automatically mean "Christian" because:

1. There are multiple religions.
2. There are people of multiple political alignments in each religion.
3. Spirituality is often very different from straight up religion.
4. Politics are the most materialistic and manmade system, whereas spirituality/religion AT LEAST IN THEORY is supposed to be a search for the greater truth.
5. Jesus, who was all about letting people into his home, I really doubt would approve of profiling, bashing, and putting a border to stop Mexicans from coming into America.

But of course, neoconservatives will continue to assume that they are the only Christians and, according to them, atheists and liberal Christians and Jews are all one and the same, despite the fact that they have DRASTICALLY DIFFERENT VIEWS ON RELIGION AND SPIRITUALITY!

And this is why we can't have nice things *Sigh*
