We can say both that religion is responsible for religiously motivated harm & that most religious people are not motivated to do harm.

No, that's not supernatural tho. You'd need to sit down and write out a list of characteristics that combine to make a religion.

And yet we do know what we mean by religion. We are able to talk about them. List them. etc.

I tend to avoid definition arguments. If people want to call atheism or feminism or evolution a religion, its pointless to argue.
