Religion or Pseudoreligion?

I don't think there is any real way to distinguish the 2. Religion to me is a set of beliefs which affect and guide people's lives. So if people want to believe that Elvis is their god and that he is going to come back and be their messiah, that is fine with me. It is really no different than believing that Jesus is the messiah. In both aspects the people are changing their lives in order to live in accordance with thier beliefs. As long as the people are not causing harm to themselves or others, as in cults, i think anything which can give people something to believe that they are not alone in the world, and that there is a higher being looking out and protecting them, it can only do these people good. Often depression is caused when people think they are alone in the world.
