If one person constructs an elaborate/unique constellation of ideas with 'spiritual' overtones, it is their imaginary world, delusion or maybe even some 'truth' (at least to them, revealed to them or no).
If a few more people agree, it becomes a 'belief system'.
If a great many people believe the same thing, (or, something similar), it becomes a 'religion'
So, eliminate the cultural component and tell me if you will (and you're bored or something) - What actually IS a religion? What does that concept mean to you?
