I can't really disagree with your characterization of the nature of religion. Yes, religion is included in human rights but it isn't always defined as freedom of religion rather it is describe as "freedom of conscience" to include even those who have no believe in a divine being who runs the show. Atheists, agnostics, etc are included.
Each religion has its own definition of 'saint.' To read about these, click on the link below. The Catholic definition can be summed up in this quote: "A saint is always someone through whom we catch a glimpse of what God is like -- and of what we are called to be."
No, the opposite of a definition is certainly not always true. That would depend on the definitions and the meaning of the opposite.
religion should always be first.
The countries that belong to the Scandinavian countries are Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Iceland, and sometime Greenland as it is almost always not included.
If you are talking about the monotheistic Abrahamic religion, then, no, God did not invent himself. He is by definition, the First Cause, someone always extant.
It didn't. There has always been religion.
Natural numbers are a subset of whole numbers. They typically include the positive integers (1, 2, 3, ...) and, in some definitions, zero (0). Therefore, natural numbers can be considered whole numbers when zero is included in the definition. Overall, natural numbers are always whole numbers, but whether zero is included depends on the context.
This definition suggests that religion involves believing in a deity who is always alive and present, with a divine intelligence and will that governs the universe and interacts with humanity based on moral principles. It implies a concept of a higher power that plays a central role in guiding human behavior and shaping moral values.
