- Religious Belief means any sincerely held belief, or information for, against, or in conjunction with any theistic, agnostic, or atheistic assumption, presumption, position, or religious doctrine, dogma, or practice. In determining the presence of a sincerely held belief, certain factors may be considered, including the source of the ideas that provide the foundation of the belief, whether the professor of such belief is part of a recognized religious body or denomination, whether said body is an entity, and whether the professed belief is part of a larger scheme of beliefs relied upon by the adherents of the beliefs as a pattern for their life's activities. The number of adherents to a particular belief shall not, by itself, form a basis for determination by the [organization] whether the belief is sincerely held. Seen in 1 SEC filing.
