"Once we can look at religion objectively and impartially, it becomes entirely obvious that religion has all the characteristics of a form of insanity. To one degree or another the religious mind must accept, and believe in, another world; a supernatural or unnatural world, a world filled with all sorts of imaginary beings called gods, devils, angels, saints, demons, etc. These imaginary creatures are talked to, asked for favors, guidance, "signs", or miracles, and then blamed or thanked for natural events that follow. Except for the cloak of religion, such beliefs and actions would otherwise cause an individual to be judged insane, and committed to an institution for treatment." -Emmet F. Fields

Get the religion mug.A set of beliefs, usually including a moral code and an outline of some sort of deity. Not a mental disease, and not the only possible source of everything that is wrong with the world.
Whether or not any of the world religions are "true" remains to be seen.

Judaism, Islam, Christianity, Buddhism, Jainism, Hinduism, Wicca, Zoroastrianism, and Sikhism are all religions. All of them have very different beliefs.

Get the Religion mug.
The religion 'a' was formed by a group of moronic 12 year olds in the year 2003. Followers worship the letter 'a' and think that God is the image of giant smiling letter a with pigtails and a crown. The followers are led by the 'Pope of a,' who is a mystical figure, suspected to have died of a ruptured spleen in late 2005.
The paramilitary wing of the religion (the crusaders of cheerfulness) is led by Sergeant Smiley, one of the world's most wanted criminals. Despite not having any bodily features aside from a large round hairless face, he has killed over 2000 supporters of the rivalling religion b, with the help of his comrades.

Get the A religion mug.Any group that worships, well, anything. (God,Ganeshe, Yahewa, Golden Calf, Satan, Bill Gates, The Beatles, etc...)
Oh, and for MANY of the above posts...
Buddhism is a philosophy, and historically, unless I'm extremely uneducated, hasn't caused any harm. It's a nonviolent group. Oh, and for those who DO consider it a religion... well, you're obviously grossly uneducated in buddhism, and should probably read up on it before judging it.
For some reason, I get the impression that none of the religion-smashers here have even read any religious texts, instead choosing to be atheist because it's trendy instead observing all the evidence and making a philosophical choice.
