Yeah, I don't dispute this but these are caused by dogma in general too. I think we have to look at the deeper traits.
Tried to clarify. Religion is more than leading characters & texts & doctrines. It's mostly practice & values & enforcement.

By 'religion,' I am referring to the overall ethos and behaviours stemming from it every bit as much as primary sources.

Cool. Yeah I agree.

What's better word than 'intrinsic?' 'Central features of a religion as manifested by followers over course of its existence?'
-
I'm not sure. I first took it to mean you were teasing out what was caused purely by the faith and not extraneous forces.
-
Extraneous forces. Religion reacts to them, adapts to them, remakes itself in relation to them.
-
Faith remains constant problem, doctrines and tradition guide the response but religion is always creation of culture.
-
It lags behind, obv. Retains much of the culture it was invented in & picks up more along the way.

We can't even think the way ppl did when Christianity was invented. Harder & harder to understand human sacrifice.
-
Well it was also doctrinal and probably quite a bit of scope to the actual propositions people believed then too.
