Marshall, The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines religion as: : the belief in a god or in a group of gods Atheism, on the other hand, is defined as: : the doctrine that there is no deity If one needs to search websites to find meanings of words, sooner or later one will find the perfect website i.e. with the meanings that fit perfectly with one's own definition of the word. The question I have for the Catholics here is, how does one stop being a Catholic? I was told that the easiest way was to be caught plotting to overthrow the Pope. That seems a long road to take in order to declare independence from religion. In this regard, perhaps both Catholic's and Hindu's face the same challenge when they want to escape religion in a secular country like India. Mervyn
