Belief in and worship of god(s!.
"And how do you define religion?"
A futile search for the meaning of life and the universe through the invention of imaginary supernatural beings
The best places to start looking for the meaning of life and the universe are life and the universe. That's really hard work, so people turn to religion to find easy answers.
well there is god as monotheistic just one singular god, then there was polytheism the belief in many gods.the specific practice oof faith and worship.
Strange that you keep commenting in other places, but pretend to not have noticed questions directed to you in other places...

Uh huh!
Religion is a political means to force a swath of ignorant peoples into obedience. It does so by preying upon weak minded people and or intellectual lazy people. It produces a false answer to the question of life by providing a fictitious authority then speaking for said authority and thus dictating to the masses.
I agree with mykob4. Religion is just a means of control. whatever be its definition. (even though it diverges from the OPs question)
