Possibly controversial but what is religion? I am struggling with the concept...

I was brought up in the Christian faith for my whole childhood and adolescence. I am struggling to know what I really believe. Not meant to be a horrid question but a sincere one.

Religion is rules on how to worship. Not necessarily a bad thing, it can help you focus. The problem being that too many people get caught up on if the rules are being followed to the letter or who has the better rules. The question is does your religion bring you closer to God. Does it strengthen your faith. You can also have strong faith and not have religion.
