I read Jess' recent posts and was waiting for someone to respond. Wasn't sure anyone would. I am curious though if everyone thinks religion is simply
a strong belief in a supernatural power or powers that control human destiny or is it different from a private belief in a supernatural power and only becomes a religion when it
also involves the public aspect of worship in an organized cultural system or group?
