As you stated

I would say religion is a framework for our spiritual views.

But Spirit don't guide rightly at all times.
Don't u think a religion must be benefited for the humanity?
Spritual views are nit Aid for a person is hardships!

i'd say religion is a process of belief and action, ritual, understanding, approach, and view. a few years ago i was identifying strongly with the philosophy of Viktor Frankl, and my devotion to his philosophy was something like a religion, as was my relationship with Buddhism and Quakerism. so for me religion is kind of like a relationship, a marriage.

a Religion is an answer to unanswerable questions.

As pole is for debate
And debate for conclusion
And conclusion need to ask, what means!

If u react like that, then no debate at all and no conclusion!

It clearly points to politics, I wish to explore whether politics can be a religion?

edit:
definition of religion:
The English word "religion" is derived from the Middle English "religioun" which came from the Old French "religion." It may have been originally derived from the Latin word "religo" which means "good faith," "ritual," and other similar meanings. Or it may have come from the Latin "religãre" which means "to tie fast."

My definition of a religion is that it's a methodology for living based on a specific theological concept of existence.

It means you support Freud's believe?

Freud believed that sexual instincts and urges were the driving force of humanity's life; Frankl, by contrast, believes that man's deepest desire is to search for meaning and purpose.

It means religion of man takes start after marriage? then what should be before marriage???
