"Rather than working with universal definitions, we need to realize that religion is always situated in history and society. ... I take it that, broadly speaking, religion refers to the ways in which people link up with, or even feel touched by, a meta-empirical sphere that may be glossed as supernatural, sacred, divine or transcendental."
