Many definitions are quite narrow, and exclude some faith groups.
Other definitions are very broad and overlap other areas of human thought and activity. The term was taken over into English with its meaning unchanged. Thus we would consider Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Native American Spirituality, and Neopaganism to be religions. Many Unitarian Universalists are excluded by this description. Strictly interpreted, it would also reject polytheistic religions.
