I wouldn't apply the word philosophy to either example. Philosophy can occur within the framework of certain religions, as often happens with eastern philosophy, but that doesn't make religious rites and beliefs philosophy unto itself.

Neither would I, which is why I used the quotations. Then again, a lot of so called philosophies on these lists are not exactly what I would call philosophies. But, for the purposes of this thread, the word philosophy has been given a broader meaning, and I wanted to carry out the example.
