As long as at least one fun social activity is frowned upon,
then it is considered a religion.
Also, If you make a joke about it, and someone laughs, it's a church. If you make a joke about it, and all you get are angry looks, then it is a cult.
Seriously, I don't know. Some locales determine a religion status by number of members. Others determine status as a religion by how long it has been around.
