Religion is always organized. That’s the definition of it. It’s organized belief. Take away the organization (= rules on how to believe / act), and you’re left with personal beliefs.
I do believe these still tell their followers what/how to believe. A belief system is a religion. And there are Hindu and buddhist extremists acting as a group committing hate crimes

Fuck all religions :)
I don’t know. I’ve been to some pretty disorganized Hellenistic pagan events. Damn good time, though.
“Ah shit, when was the sermon supposed to start? Let’s see, where did I put my notes…does anyone have a bible or something I can borrow?”

No, you could actually have your own personal set of beliefs and call it a religion.
You could also call a volcano a frog. Makes just as much sense, but you could call it a frog.
Sure, just show me where “frog” can mean “volcano”.
Religion: A personal set or institutionalized system of religious attitudes, beliefs, and practices.
