Come on. Don’t be silly. I asked: “Specifically differentiate “theology” from “religion.” No significant difference. None.”

You responded to that question, but without answering it. I requested an answer.

Wakey wakey! You did not address that question to me but I will gladly answer to the best of my ability.
A theology degree is specifically focused on the study of God(thus the “theo”, wink) which entails such course work as would center on defining and specifying the attributes of God and His relationship to his creation.
A religion degree is specifically focused on various (or possibly one) system(s) of relating to God through various forms or organizations for worship and study. Theology may be(almost must be) included in a full understanding of religion but is only a part. How to illustrate this? ....
All professors can write, but not all writers are professors.
