Religiously Confused

We all agree that there is only one God? Most religions, if not all, will say yes?, I'm assuming.
God has no religion. All agree I'm sure?.
So what is religion then?
Can anyone help me with the/an answer please?
Thanks.

Well that's a $64,000 question!!!!
My take:
Let's see in the west it's a group made up of "believers, non believers and agnostics disagreeing."

As some others have already chimed in on, not really.

See above.

I think that "religion" involves largely honest attempts to understand God(s) and pass on what they think their God(s) teaches.

And the one characteristic of religion, including pretty much all religious beliefs, is that they are "unfalsifiable". IOW, no matter how hard we may try, we cannot prove the others wrong, but neither can we prove ourselves right...

Thus leading to endless debate.

History, practice, culture, and tradition

I was low, a while ago and while trawling the net, I came across a pic saying call to God if your low. I called out to God. At the time I was a total non believer in any religion/God. None. Still do not follow any of these man made religions now. But have a belief in God, in my own way. Called out. Next day, I was helped. Something happened that had never happened before. I was gobsmacked. Still am. Just confused over religion. Is it really needed?
