    Can it a "here and now" religion exist without promising anything in the afterlife, yet be taken seriously.

    it's probably not a religion then but rather, a philosophy to live your life towards.

    Apparently, for it to be a religion, it has to offer a reward once one has died.

    wrong again, alex.

    there is no current (satisfactory) definition
    to 'religion'.

    it was once decided to figure out the
    qualities that define religion. several
    people sat down and thunk on it.
    the goal was to define religion in as few
    qualities as possible so that when it
    was said and done, something still looked
    like a religion.

    reduced to its final prime, religion was
    defined in seven qualities, none of which
    are 'retrobution after death'.

    (if you want that list, let me know)

    in the meantime, humor me into giving me
    your definition of religion.

    Religion must address the four fundamental questions.

    1. what is life
    2. why is there suffering
    3. what happens after death
    4. why is the universe present (i think)

    otherwise it cannot be classified as a 'religion' so it's usually called a cult.
