The definition of religion is a controversial and complicated subject in religious studies with scholars failing to agree on any one definition. Oxford Dictionaries defines religion as the belief in and/or worship of a superhuman controlling power, especially a personal God or gods. Others, such as Wilfred Cantwell Smith, have tried to correct a perceived Judeo-Christian and Western bias in the definition and study of religion. Thinkers such as Daniel Dubuisson have doubted that the term religion has any meaning outside of western cultures, while others, such as Ernst Feil even doubt that it has any specific, universal meaning even there.

  • Religionsdefinitionen dienen in der Religionswissenschaft und anderen Kultur- oder Sozialwissenschaften dazu, das Phänomen „Religion“ zu definieren, das heißt genau zu bestimmen und gegen andere Phänomene abzugrenzen. Es gibt mittlerweile über hundert Religionsdefinitionen, aber bisher hat sich keine als allgemein anerkannt durchsetzen können. (de)

  • Определение религии — это противоречивый и сложный вопрос в религиоведении, по которому учёные не могут прийти к согласию относительно какого-либо одного определения. Религия — это понятие современной западной культуры. Параллельные понятия не встречаются во многих современных и прошлых культурах; во многих языках нет эквивалентного термина. Учёные сочли затруднительным выработать единое определение, причём некоторые вообще отрицают возможность его выработать. Другие утверждают, что безотносительно от определения, понятие «религия» не следует применять к незападным культурам. (ru)
