Although I can see where you're coming from, I have to disagree with you there. Whereas Religions and the Occult concern similar things, like Magic and the Supernatural, Religions tend to be organised, and have moral codes and rules dictating how their followers should behave. The Occult, on the other hand, is a much more vague term, encompassing various supernatural phenomena. It would be fair to say that Religions
involve the Occult, but they are not the same thing, any more than Pizzas and Cheese are the same thing...
