there is no law or ritual or anything to it. a religion is an organization. there can't be an unorganized religion, it's an oxymoron. god. does believing in the sun make you religious? it's not faith or belief either. it's knowing. i have a knowing inside me that leads me to know certain things. like that skies tend to be blue. get that into your head.
I have lots of knowings too. Believe me a religion doesnt have to be an organisation, quite alot of the better ones can be practised on their own. As for believing in the Sun, it isnt a matter of belief, it is there, and my eyesight is perfectly good enough to be convinced it is there. Are you suggesting science is a religion of some sort..?
you're suggesting science is a religion. 
spirituality and science go hand in hand. that's what i'm saying.
Are you saying that because they are both ways that deal with nature, or something else?
trying reading something like "the tao of physics" by fritjof capra, or "the dancing wu-li masters" by gary zukov. although they're oldish, and have been superseded, AND deal with eastern mysticism, rather than much in the way of western tradtitions, they're somewhere to start. there's also a good section of energy-as-physics and magic in "the power of the witch" by laurie cabot.
