How best can one describe Religion?
Well to me, as of today, the best analogy I can speak of is a PLAY, a drama. Religion is perhaps like a play in which what matters most is not the stage, nor the actors, not the props, neither the audience nor the number of viewers but the one who ultimately calls the shots.
The fact that God is part of this whole drama - and not necessarily the one calling the shots! - makes this whole enterprise a real adventure. If at times God is directing, then it is a 'spiritual' scene and if a human being is animating, then it is 'human'. Sometimes human being dances and at times God is made to dance. As with regard to Christianity, God himself takes on a role by himself!
However, the beauty of it all is that it is all a living drama. It has every sentiment, every dimension, everything one can think of, human or divine, spiritual or mundane.
