then I am religious by that definition

Of course you are my good man! In some important sense, the craving for religious truth is hard-wired in mankind, as evidenced by the fact that there are no peoples on the earth who do not have gods or songs.

One can always ride out on a fully armored scientific battle horse and knock over the encampments of "organized religion", however that may ultimately not prove very satisfying - too similar to going full Rambo on a bunch of retarded kindergarden age children, defeating them utterly, and raising the atheist flag above their mangled corpses.

The mind and the senses are bypassed by means of diligent introspective practice, ones with real and even measurable effects on the brain's electrochemistry. The very possibility of such a maneuver is left deliberately unexplored and obscure in the western educational system, which aims to produce only specialized worker drones and atheists (ignoramuses) at its every layer except the very elite capstone.
