It's amazing how people put religion in a box though. They assume if one attend a house of worship, they "aren't religious." It's hard to get the concept through that, as Bob Dylon once said (when he was lucid) "you gotta serve somebody..."
All humans are religious--in that they put something at the center of their lives... (and too often their true religion is different from the one they profess). As the Chesterton said, quoting writer Emile Cammaerts,
"The first effect of not believing in God is to believe in anything."
