What is religion? The Oxford English dictionary defines religion as “the belief in and worship of a superhuman controlling power, especially a personal God or gods.” Noah Webster in 1828 restricts this concept to the Creator however through the evolution of language today’s definition could be used to describe several different beliefs including atheism. So when someone asks “what religion are you?” Your answer may be very general or very specific and either would be correct. When someone asks “Do you believe in God?” You could answer “Which one?” You would still be correct in that response.
