Religion is belief in a god or gods and the activities that are connected with this belief, such as praying or worshipping in a building such as a church or temple so therefore religious can be used to describe things that are connected with religion or with one particular religion.
How is it then that since I've been on these forums I've come up against quite a lot of people who, whilst claiming that they believe in God, follow the teachings of Jesus and study the Bible also claim that they are not religious or have no religion?
Is it that they somehow want to distance themselves from the uneducated, church going masses and claim some sort of intellectual high ground or perhaps they just don't like the stereotype that religion conjures up.
