And doing well on my test is also a belief, so from what you said before, that would constitute it as being a religion. Your argument then and now still is belief = religion or belief is equivalent to a religion. Define what a belief is by setting certain parameters because right now you're still saying any belief is a religion. In either case, it's turning out to be a circular argument: a belief is X and a religion is X because a belief is X since a belief is a religion. You need to make your argument a lot more specific, detailed and unambiguous.
