What is a religion if not a cluster of beliefs? (The Buffy fandom doesn’t sound like a cluster of beliefs.)
Every religion is a cluster of beliefs (and practices), but clusters of beliefs and practices covers far more than just religion.
It seems like a fandom would be defined by
valuing or appreciating a work.
watching/etc. the work as applicable.
These don’t seem like beliefs.
