Lots of people have no idea what religion is. The bible thumpers and other like minded people think it's whatever book they choose. Memorizing fancy words isn't what the core of religion is.
The creation of original life is where it starts. Either you believe God spoke the word or we're made of stardust. Both versions aren't 100% provable either way. Thus, it's a matter of faith. Of cause there's other variation on these two things I used the modern scientific view as well as Genesis since they're the most well known.
The contemplation allows a person to realize their life matters. Then extends that to other life. This is where respect for life comes from. Since you're alive you need to live. Living is doing. There's a thing known as reality which is an abstract. You need to reach out and touch it. The only way to do so is through the Truth.
Touching reality with the truth allows the spark of reason to form in one's mind. Reason allows you to make choices and then turning them into actions. What's known as "free will" comes from your soul or lifeforce.
This is the core of all religions, formal or personal, from ancient to modern and beyond. A respect for life, acceptance of reality and the truth is call "Good". Remove the concept of evil and people will become evil. Evil being a disregard for life, rejection of reality and lies. Ethics and morals comes from good.
From the above core people follow a philosophy that makes sense to them. There's many different religions that have doctrines they adhere to. Good religions tend to have similar commonalities because they are based off the truth. Evil religions tend to be an posit of one of the good religions.
My philosophy for example is what makes sense to me. I don't disregard God, I just don't count on him. When I die the kinetic energy in my body will become potential energy in the atmosphere after I'm torched. Then Ill be a lightning strike or whatever else. Yin & Yang, cause and effect, destiny and fate along with the Web Of Life is how I see the world.
Reality is. So now you know what religion is and how it works. It's your choice.
