Belief in a spiritual or metaphysical reality (often including at least one deity), accompanied by practices or rituals pertaining to the belief.
Most books on the philosophy of religion try to begin with a precise definition of what its essence consists of. […] I shall not be pedantic enough to enumerate any of them to you now.

A particular system of such belief, and the rituals and practices proper to it.

Any practice to which someone or some group is seriously devoted.
(obsolete) Faithfulness to a given principle; conscientiousness.
