"A religion" is any framework of shared assumptions that enables cooperation without direct coordination needed. The guy knowing his HR would fire him knows their moral code and knows that they know he knows it - shared assumptions about morality.
True believers don't think of their religion as a religion, simply as the moral framework in which they live and judge - like water to a fish. "Religion" only applies to the other guy. 2/2

Intuitively I agree that something like a conflict between a wife and mother in law isn't in the bounds of "religion" but is in the bounds of "culture"; even religion as expansively defined isn't all consuming. The type of dispute and the parties matter.
