The root meaning for the word means to "reconnect with God" (from the original Latin).
Religio means “to go within” i.e. “to know and obey” God.
According to Cicero derived from relegere "go through again" (in reading or in thought), from re- "again" (see re-) + legere "read" (see lecture (n.)). However, popular etymology among the later ancients (Servius, Lactantius, Augustine) and the interpretation of many modern writers connects it with religare "to bind fast" (see rely), via notion of "place an obligation on," or "bond between humans and gods." What it actually means in Latin.

I have currently begun watching. Regardless of my opinion I will watch it all. My biggest issue when people start using scripture from the Bible... a pagan decided what modern day Christians read and quote. Soooo yeah there’s that. Kinda contradicts and nullifies it all. Just reading the gnostic writing that where sealed away until 1947 should raise massive red flags with the extreme differences but a life of indoctrination into the “church” muddies your perception. God created all. ALL. God created ALL... but still man in all his arrogance, righteousness, and ignorance thinks he knows all. a reply to: SoulSurfer
