It's my belief system, not a religion. I am not a protestant nor a catholic nor a buddhist, etc. I believe in a non-sectarian practices. It's a mistake to interchange the word religion with private belief system or faith because religions have organized behaviors, including congregations for prayer, priestly hierarchies, holy places, and/or scriptures. So when I say "religion," I say Catholics, Protestants, Methodist, Baptist, Buddhist, Islam...
