To me, it's any codified set of beliefs in a higher power or any other
supposed manifestation of the supernatural, even if it has only one
adherent. The hermit in a mountaintop cave who thinks he's discovered The
Answer has just as much right to call his set of beliefs a religion as the
Roman Catholic Church, the Shiites, the Hasidim or the Zoroastrians do.
Although he's probably not interested in buying time on WPZE to shout his
Answer to the No. 10 radio market, though.<g>
