Well, I spose that if you do have beliefs then you are religious but it all depends on what you believe in. I believe in God but am not madly religious in that I don't go to church every week or talk about it but I consider myself a christian. I don't like the happy clappy stuff though or the people who bang on my bloody door

Religion and believing are two separate realms IMO. Never let going to church get in the way of your beliefs. Religion is just a title of a solid. Believing is a concept.

'beliefs'? well you may believe in what you please, like tree worshipping or aliens but if you mean belief in God then no, you need not be religious. Religion is a man made created set of rules,a system, that faith in God does not require.

There are millions of people who have faith and belief but what gets on my nerves are the ones who constantly need to tell us all. I believe in God but I don't pepper every conversation that I have with people about God and Jesus but some people do and it does my head in.

It matters that we believe in something surely.
We all have to believe in ourselves to do the best we can.
I dont believe in a God as such, so I suppose I could never be classed as religious, but I do believe there is something, a higher spirit, even if its just in ourselves.
