在这篇文章中，我构建了一个术语“宗教”的定义，作为宗教经验科学研究领域的标志。第一部分涉及一些方法论问题，从“宗教”是否可以被定义的问题，到对现有工具的简短总结。第二部分给出了一个简短的词汇定义，特别注意了一些不常见的定义，以及一些对通常定义造成问题的现象。在最后一节中，我建立了我的规定性定义，在此之前我陈述了我对这个问题的个人立场。
In this contribution I construct a definition of the term'religions', as a designator of the domain of study of the empirical sciences of religions. The first section deals with some methodological issues, running from the question whether'religion'can be defined at all, to a short summary of the available tools to do so. In the second section, a short lexical definition is given, paying special attention to unusual definitions, as well as some phenomena which cause problems for the usual ones. In the last section I then build up my stipulative definition, which I precede with a statement concerning my personal position towards this issue.
