Some Thought for the Mind

[Icu]

Well, some religious people think that they are going to be reborn in the next life (and so on). Others think they'll go to heaven and whatnot.

In this way they aren't trying to get to the same place.

From another viewpoint, religion is, on the whole, an attempt to connect with something beyond the scope of humanity. I say on the whole that looking at it like this your definition fits, but you could always find certain religions that have views where it wouldn't.
