If you don't define your terms you get idiotic questions like "who is more Christian, Witness Lee or Mother Teresa".

I gave two good definitions for religion in post # 84. An important element of James 1:27, is God. The prescribed behavior is undefiled in the sight of God. Religion includes both horizontal and vertical axes. James 1:27 specifies the vertical axis first consistent with Jesus' first commandment. [Mark 12:29] before the horizontal: visiting the fatherless and widows which is an instance of Jesus' second commandment.
