Thank you for sharing on of life's opinionated point of views.

It's not about opinion, it's about lexicon and meaning. When you said

Having a religion simply means believing in something that gives some kind of meaning/motivation in our lives.  That applies to ALL of us.

you're posing a very general statement that also applies to phylosophy and ethics, but certainly does not strictly define a religion as it is commonly understood. Once again: a religion actively postulates that there are trascendent/spiritual forces which act as free will agents, namely the gods. Not an opinion of mine, just any dictionary's take on the term.
