Religion - A cause, principle, or activity pursued with zeal or conscientious devotion

Stupid definition, unless it is meant to include the usages of religion in a figurative sense. By this defniition, football, quilting, exercise, or even cleaning house could be a religion.

By this definition, football... could be a religion.

You mean it isn't in Nebraska? Well, maybe not this year!

Tell it to the Dictionary people. I did not create that definition.

Atheism is a faith-based religion.
