We often speak of Huna as not in itself a religion, but the truth which lies behind all religions alike. It is a science because it explains spiritual/metaphysical matters not as theological belief, but of direct knowledge obtainable by study and ivestigation. It's religious aspect gives Huna "followers" or practitioners a rule of life... not based on alleged "commands" given to the "chosen" at some remote period in the past, but on plain common sense as indicated by observable facts. The "Divine Will" is expressed in what we know as the laws of Nature.
YOUR RELIGION is what YOU believe, not what you're told to believe.
From a certain viewpoint, Huna can be practiced as a religion, there are TWO BIG DIFFERENCES between Huna and what is typically called religion...
FIRST ... Huna does not demand belief or even speak of belief in the usual sence, because the Huna student either KNOWS a thing or suspends judgement about it until they can experience the results until such time as they prove it for themselves.
SECOND... Huna doesn't endeavor to "convert" anyone from whatever religion he holds... it EXPLAINS your religion to you and enables you to see the DEEPER MEANING and PURPOSE than you ever knew before.
Huna principles are not tennets of faith, but are based on direct and repeatable OBSERVATION of what happens.
