Here's MMY's definition of Religion: "The word comes from the Latin infinitive 'religare': re, meaning back, 'ligare', to bind; or, that which binds one back. The purpose of Religion is to bind man back to his source, to his origin." MMY SOB pg255. Sounds like a clear definition to me, just like Coke, unless you want to argue semantics, 'stand alone' TM clearly falls under this definition.
