The outward act or form by which men indicate their             recognition of the existence of a god or of gods having             power over their destiny, to whom obedience, service, and             honor are due; the feeling or expression of human love,             fear, or awe of some superhuman and overruling power,             whether by profession of belief, by observance of rites             and ceremonies, or by the conduct of life; a system of             faith and worship; a manifestation of piety; as, ethical             religions; monotheistic religions; natural religion;             revealed religion; the religion of the Jews; the religion             of idol worshipers.                         An orderly life so far as others are able to observe                      us is now and then produced by prudential motives or                      by dint of habit; but without seriousness there can                      be no religious principle at the bottom, no course                      of conduct from religious motives; in a word, there                      can be no religion.                           --Paley.                         Religion [was] not, as too often now, used as                      equivalent for godliness; but . . . it expressed the                      outer form and embodiment which the inward spirit of                      a true or a false devotion assumed.   --Trench.                         Religions, by which are meant the modes of divine                      worship proper to different tribes, nations, or                      communities, and based on the belief held in common                      by the members of them severally. . . .

As distinguished from morality, religion                denotes the influences and motives to human duty which                are found in the character and will of God, while                morality describes the duties to man, to which true                religion always influences. As distinguished from                piety, religion is a high sense of moral obligation and                spirit of reverence or worship which affect the heart                of man with respect to the Deity, while piety, which                first expressed the feelings of a child toward a                parent, is used for that filial sentiment of veneration                and love which we owe to the Father of all. As                distinguished from sanctity, religion is the means by                which sanctity is achieved, sanctity denoting primarily                that purity of heart and life which results from                habitual communion with God, and a sense of his                continual presence.          {Natural religion}, a religion based upon the evidences of a             God and his qualities, which is supplied by natural             phenomena. See {Natural theology}, under {Natural}.          {Religion of humanity}, a name sometimes given to a religion             founded upon positivism as a philosophical basis.          {Revealed religion}, that which is based upon direct             communication of God's will to mankind; especially, the             Christian religion, based on the revelations recorded in             the Old and New Testaments.
From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
Ghost dance \Ghost dance\       A religious dance of the North American Indians, participated       in by both sexes, and looked upon as a rite of invocation the       purpose of which is, through trance and vision, to bring the       dancer into communion with the unseen world and the spirits       of departed friends. The dance is the chief rite of the          {Ghost-dance}, or          {Messiah},          {religion}, which originated about 1890 in the doctrines of             the Piute Wovoka, the Indian Messiah, who taught that the             time was drawing near when the whole Indian race, the dead             with the living, should be reunited to live a life of             millennial happiness upon a regenerated earth. The             religion inculcates peace, righteousness, and work, and             holds that in good time, without warlike intervention, the             oppressive white rule will be removed by the higher             powers. The religion spread through a majority of the             western tribes of the United States, only in the case of             the Sioux, owing to local causes, leading to an outbreak.

From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
Assent \As*sent"\, n. [OE. assent, fr. assentir. See {Assent},       v.]       The act of assenting; the act of the mind in admitting or       agreeing to anything; concurrence with approval; consent;       agreement; acquiescence.                   Faith is the assent to any proposition, on the credit                of the proposer.                                    --Locke.                   The assent, if not the approbation, of the prince.                                                                               --Prescott.                   Too many people read this ribaldry with assent and                admiration.                                             --Macaulay.          {Royal assent}, in England, the assent of the sovereign to a             bill which has passed both houses of Parliament, after             which it becomes law.          Syn: Concurrence; acquiescence; approval; accord.          Usage: {Assent}, {Consent}. Assent is an act of the                   understanding, consent of the will or feelings. We                   assent to the views of others when our minds come to                   the same conclusion with theirs as to what is true,                   right, or admissible. We consent when there is such a                   concurrence of our will with their desires and wishes                   that we decide to comply with their requests. The king                   of England gives his assent, not his consent, to acts                   of Parliament, because, in theory at least, he is not                   governed by personal feelings or choice, but by a                   deliberate, judgment as to the common good. We also                   use assent in cases where a proposal is made which                   involves but little interest or feeling. A lady may                   assent to a gentleman's opening the window; but if he                   offers himself in marriage, he must wait for her                   consent.

From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
Religion          Agnostic.   Atheist.   Non-observant Jewish.   Neo-pagan.   Very    commonly, three or more of these are combined in the same person.    Conventional faith-holding Christianity is rare though not unknown.          Even hackers who identify with a religious affiliation tend to be    relaxed about it, hostile to organized religion in general and all    forms of religious bigotry in particular.   Many enjoy `parody'    religions such as Discordianism and the Church of the SubGenius.          Also, many hackers are influenced to varying degrees by Zen Buddhism    or (less commonly) Taoism, and blend them easily with their `native'    religions.          There is a definite strain of mystical, almost Gnostic sensibility    that shows up even among those hackers not actively involved with    neo-paganism, Discordianism, or Zen.   Hacker folklore that pays homage    to `wizards' and speaks of incantations and demons has too much    psychological truthfulness about it to be entirely a joke.
