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 even then people will disagree. When I speak of religion, I'm talking abt faith-based systems including supernatural claims ...

Yes. You have dogmas. You're not claiming a superbeing to exist and have made the world and made you immortal with a soul.

No, that was one example of a religious truth claim which differs from an ideological principle. X exists vs X is morally right.

If I claim evolution occurs, this is different to claiming that liberal values are best for society.

Religions have value systems just like non-religious ideologies. They also have truth claims which can be evaluated on evidence.
