Philosophy A philosophy is a set of well-defined notions. It is a framework of ideas. Religion is the transformation of philosophy into behavior. It is the adherence to a framework of ideas so strongly that we cannot look upon the world without consideration of them.
All behavior is religious.
The choices you make that affect your behavior are made because you believe in the definitions that are the foundation of those choices. Despite what you may advocate or adopt by word, it is the action you take, it is the deed you do that speaks for what you believe. Confusion and misunderstanding derive from a lack of rigorous definition in the terms we use to communicate. Definition must be a primary objective in all communications and we must guard definition as communications unfold. In particular, there have been too few attempts to negotiate the axioms built upon such a framework.
