  6. Attempts at a Definition • Melford Spiro • “Religion is an institution consisting of culturally patterned interaction with culturally postulated superhuman beings.” • Peter Berger • “Religion is the human attitude towards a sacred order that includes within it all being—human or otherwise—i.e., belief in a cosmos, the meaning of which both includes and transcends man.” • Max Weber • Refused to attempt a definition of religion.
