The "family resemblance'definition of religion means that: religions can share similar traits without all needing to be present as long as something looks like a religion, it is a religion It is impossible to come up with a working definition of religion Religions must share all of the same traits to be called a religion.

The "family resemblance" definition of religion means that **religions can share similar traits without all needing to be present**. Think of it like members of a family. They might share some characteristics (like eye color or a certain nose shape), but not every family member will have *all* the same traits. Similarly, religions might share characteristics like belief in a higher power, rituals, or moral codes, but not every religion will have all of these, or express them in the same way.<br />
