Any irrational system of belief and veneration, commonly involving God(s), that relies on baseless articles of faith as found in holy scriptures and/or espoused by self proclaimed spokespeople for God(s).
Despite Christianity being properly defined as a religion many of it's adherents refuse to accept that it is a religion, like any other.

Contagious form of schizophrenia. Also the blame for billions upon billions of murders and countless wars.

Religion is a scam setup to control your mind. It will command you to do things - and ask you for your money so the pastor/priest/head person can go rent out a prostitute since he vowed not to get married. Religion corrupts the mind, body, and sole - and gets worse if you become a schizo. Religions is the real Evil of this world, besides George Bush.
Pastor Jack took our money using Religion and went out and partied with Mary Jane and a hooker named Janice.

A set of beleifs designed to explain the unanswerable questions of this world because people, apparently, can't handle things they don't understand. Although lots of these things have now been explained through science, people still refuse to let go of religion, because they now can't handle to see the truth and this falsehood provides a comfort that a life in this worhtless world will utlimately lead to a greater happiness (or afterlife).
Religion has also been used as the justification for murder and various other acts seen as wrong, even though these acts are against the teachings of the religion.
Of course their is no proof of whether any religion can be considered false or true, and this can probably only be discovered in death.

People's justification for existence, system of belief that validates and explains life. Said people then proceed to disagree upon the details of the faith and blow each other up.
