| does religion depend upon divinity? -

the title says it all.
my own opinion, at the moment, is that religion doesn't necessarily depend on believing in a god or gods... or necessarily any higher power. but then i don't know exactly what the difference between religion and philosophy is. perhaps they're complimentary, because they both have the same scope (to find truth) but they take different (or are they so different?) approaches. or is the approach the same while the starting points are different? what does it mean to be religious?
