Of course, but .... the point is that it would be a flawed generalization to think this is true of every religion - and it's fairly common that people think this is a thing that all religions do.
Religions have got a set of traditions and rituals which lack generic beliefs?
Waitwhat? My point is only that the idea that religions are sets of beliefs one has to believe in order to be a member of them does not apply to all of them.
It was just a my suggestion for the definition. I don't think there is a precise boundary between religion and paranormal (they are often mixed).
