Rejecting religion does not equate to rejecting God.
God deals with a person on an individual basis, it's a personal experience. Did not one of the crucified thieves go to paradise because he believed Jesus? Does that make him religious?
NO, not belonging to a club does not matter to me. You like someone who goes to a church still fall for the suspension of disbelief which still requires buying before insuring quality of facts. You are religious too, you simply don't belong to an official club.
It takes no brains to swallow a religion or God.
Now, don't sit here and lie to me, and answer the question, is your position that of a generic god, or does this "God" come from a book with a long tradition of being printed?
You cant separate Yoda from Star Wars. You can certainly watch the movie at home sure, you don't have to watch it with others in a group. But Yoda started out because someone wrote the script.
Now unless you have a generic god, I am betting your use of "God" comes from the traditions of Abraham, which sorry, does make you religious. "I am not like the others"..... Yes you are. Watering down a naked assertion does not separate that naked assertion from its origins.

I already made It clear to you that when I speak of religion I'm speaking of the organized system, If you bothered reading the bible you see that the "religious spirit" was an evil one. Was not the religious establishment responsible for the death of Jesus?
The idea of God existed long before the bible, or Abraham for that matter, since apparently you don't realize that the book of Job (who was not a Jew) is the oldest book in the bible.
