Actually, i think the word religion is not necessarily specific to a deist belief structure ... it comes from the latin 'ligere' [sp?], meaning 'to bind, to tie' ... same as do 'ligature' and 'ligament' .... it is mostly applied to deist beliefs, but i don't think that to apply the word to, for example, communism, is to stretch it beyond its accepted meanings. [edit] - ok, from Random House 1970 - 1. a set of beliefs concerning the cause, nature, and purpose of the universe, esp when considered as the creation of a superhuman agency or agencies, usually involving devotional and ritual observances and often having a moral code for the conduct of human affairs ... 2. a specific and institutionalised set of beliefs and practises generally agreed upon by a number of persons or sects
