I've been thinking about how some people choose to live a religionless life.

That's interesting! What do you mean by that?

Root Explanation

Religionless → It is formed from "religion" (from Latin *religio*, meaning to bind or tie) and "-less" (meaning without). The word "religionless" means without religion or lacking a religious belief.

Memory Tip

Think of being 'without' ('-less') a 'binding belief' ('religio') — that's what religionless means.
