 As far as I know it is up to a court faced with a claim of discrimination 
 against someone because of religious belief to decide, inter alia, if theirs 
 is a genuine religious belief. Guided by previous cases, but not by a 
 statutory definition. They will no doubt have the dictionary definition(s) 
 in 
 mind, but that is only a start.
