What does Religion mean to you?

Religion is an effort to holistically understand existence--the "why" of it all--and to see how it ties back to the origins of sentient life (at least life as we currently know it). You can debate how well any particular tradition or group of traditions succeeds in that endeavor, but that is its function.

Hebrews 10:25 uses the phrase “not forsaking our meeting together.” Those words show that God wants people to gather as an organized group for worship. But would each worshipper have his or her own interpretation of who God is and what he requires? No. The Bible says that those who worship in a way that God approves “should all speak in agreement” and “be completely united in the same mind and in the same line of thought.” (1 Corinthians 1:10) They would be organized into congregations and would “have love for the whole association of brothers” worldwide. (1 Peter 2:17; 1 Corinthians 11:16) Such united and organized worship is necessary to please God.
