Religion can give an individual codes to live. It can give a person hope,
belief, and a reason to exist by making the individual feel loved or cared
about by their religion or their religious deities. It can also give them
hope and belief by feeling included within a group of individuals that share
their same views. By giving them a reason to exist religions give an
individual something to look forward to after death and purpose for being on
earth.
Religion can be whatever a person makes of it. Religion can be a persons

besides worship to a God or Deity. 
Religion can mean different things for different people. It can be a rich
mans money, poor mans shelter, a mad mans weapons. Many people or cultures
worships numerous gods for different occasions. Some people worship the
earth or animals while many other individuals worship other people or
mortals. A persons religion can be what they make it.
It can be whatever a person deems holy or sacred. 
By determining what is holy or sacred to the individual they can choose to
make that their religion. Whether it be a feeling of enlightenment or a
persons bank account, the individual has the right to make what they
consider holy their religion. Not saying it is wrong or right because it is
all based on a matter of opinion and belief. Much like my definition of
religion.
