Religion

Many people are not aware of the meaning of the word 'religion'. Here are some quick definitions:
  • Re-reading
  • Treating carefully
  • Re-connection
  • To bind or return to bondage
  • Concerning a gathering
As you can see, one of it's roots can be traced to the Latin word 'religare', which means 'to bind' - ie. literally to tie up. This is so apt when considering how some people are completely 'tied up' by their belief systems.
