What is Religion?

After asking myself What is Death? & What is Life?, now I got another question in mind kinda related to the previous questions...

What is religion?


Well in one word I think everyone would agree that a religion is a belief.

My question goes actually deeper, it's more like what's the purpose of religion?

According to me:

-religion exists to explain the unexplainable to assure everyone
-it's somewhat a guide to our conduct
-every religion tends to claim that they have THE truth but I seriously doubt that one religion detains THE truth, I think maybe every religion has part of THE truth
-the diversity of religions might just be different point of views on THE truth over the years
-at a certain point, it might be true that religions is here blind us from discovering THE truth by ourselves


*by THE truth I mean the truth on everything like the creation of the universe, the absolute truth.
