? im just saying that there is much more to religion than 'believes in an immaterial-personified diety'.

since its obvious a immaterial-personlified diety doesnt exist and you seem ideologically motivated to assert that religion is falsehood, you can accomplish that by arbitrarily limiting the definition of religious to 'believes in an immaterial personified diety'. im curious why you are motivated to limit the definition of religion only to things that are observably false. do you just not like the word?

We shall never forget you in our prayers and thoughts. I am at a loss for words during this sorrowful time.

Religion is one big game of 'my invisible dad can beat up your invisible dad therefore I make the rules'

When you say 'you don't have a dad' well then that's not obeying the game so religionists get all WHOAH not fair my RULES

Everything else associated with religion is social cooperative mammalian instinct, and preening for mating, sorry about your 'meaning' (I mean your rules)

Because that is what Dunkaroos writes about, and is thus relevant to the thread. If you want to arbitrarily change the definition of religion, fine. But you can't do that and then say "Lol but THIS definition doesn't fix Dunkaroo's book and writing, therefor he is a big dumb idiot".

Or, he's writing specifically about the religious definition he uses (its also the one most prevalent in the society he's writing about)

Its like getting mad at a sports writer for only writing about American football in the United States. Of course other sports exist, but he's only talking about the most popular sport in his country.

well if a writer did this and used the word 'sports' everytime it was more appropriate to use 'american football' i would think he is an idiot, yes.

Nah not really. I just feel like your anger at Dinkins is more that "Grrr he's not as nuanced as he should be!" which is a fair criticism, but doesn't make him wrong.
