Alright.  Set the definition of religion to the dictionary standard,
which involves a system of beliefs based on God/god/gods/powerful
spiritual (also known as, not scientifically testable or they'd be
physical) beings.

Now define that which is not religious as per the above, and not based
on scientific testable fact, but is none the less believed.

For example, define these beliefs:
"All actions that further the survival of the race should be pursued."

"My happiness is a good thing.  Anything that makes me unhappy should be
stopped."

"I have the ability, and so I have the right (to do whatever it is)."
