Religion: a metaphysical system constructed on an architectural framework of superstition and myth, that attempts to explain the nature of reality and the relationship of our species to it, which along with a body of ritual, and a static code of ethical formulation, is perpetuated via cultural transmission, for the psycho-physiological alleviation of existential angst and is epistemologically dependent on magical thinking, delusion, and confirmation bias.
