The way I look at the definition of religion, it refers to both the personal practices related to communal faith and to any group rituals or correspondence stemming from a shared conviction.

It means you think a religion as your group or community follow, you will do as your community do. In other words "Trust on your communal faith whatever is, there is no self examine" "community dependent?"
right?

Not exactly. The definition of Religion encompasses both personal practices and communal faith.

No it doesn't. My satisfaction is curling up on a couch with a beer and watching the Yankees win a mid-Summer game. It gives me comfort. But it isn't my religion.
