Religion
Some contributors refer to the Rastafarian ""religion"".  All dictionaries define religion as ""a specific fundamental set of beliefs and practices"", or similar.  Religions write down their curriculum and document everything in detail.  Relgions can be propagated and repeated indefinitely.  They are a managed and organized teaching system.  The Rastafarian ""religion"" doesn't meet this test.  In the truest dictionary sense, Rastafarianism is not a ""religion"". It is a folk cult (i.e. A ""faddish devotion to or veneration for a person, principle, or thing""), and varies from person to person, and village to village.  Definitions are from dictionary.com   "
