A religion is a code of belief or philosophy
that often involves the worship of a God or
gods. Belief in a supernatural power is not
essential (absent in, for example, Buddhism
and Confucianism), but faithful adherence is
usually considered to be rewarded, eg: by
escape from human existence (Buddhism), by a
future existence (Christianity, Islam), or by
worldly benefit (Soka Gakkai Buddhism).
