ABSTRACT
Religion is about Belief with a capital B. A religious person adopts the most compelling theology and the most satisfYing spirituality on offer, frequently the constellation encountered in childhood, and allegiance to those understandings is then called Belief. There is, of course, an additional factor here, in that religious traditions have invariably included rewards for Belief: dwelling in the house of the Lord forever, the receipt of eternal grace, reincarnation into a better life, respite from plague and drought.
