Religion is "the service and worship of God or the supernatural" according to Merriam-Websters Collegiate Dictionary (a great online tool).
"Religion is as religion does" (a rough translation from Forrest Gump's mama)
Christians (me included) believe their beliefs are the true beliefs.
Muslim's believe their beliefs are the true beliefs.
Hindo's, etc...,et al.
We all understand that others have other beliefs. But we each also believe our own is the only "correct" religious belief.
I'm not saying, you have to change your beliefs to mine, nor do I want you to try and change my beliefs to yours.
I hope this answered(in some small way) your question.
Peace

"The Martyr" (excerpt)
There is sobbing of the strong,
And a pall upon the land;
But the People in their weeping
Bare the iron hand:
Beware the People weeping
When they bare the iron hand.
--Herman Melville (written after the assasination of President Abraham Lincoln)
