Actually, the thing that I'm having the most trouble with at the moment 
  is deciding upon the correct er... description word.

"Religion" is probably not the best choice, because many people of 
spiritual faith *strongly* object to the use of their faith being 
described as a "Religion".

Specifically remembering having a conversation a while ago with some 
Charismatic Christians, and who very much hate their belief being 
described as a "Religion".

To them, the word "Religion" has meaning they find abhorrent (?!), and 
not related to their beliefs.

Better description word suggestions?

Regards and best wishes,
