See the bolded. You consider astrology to fall within that category, right?
I'd agree with Hammy that non-religious generally means atheist (though I'm sure there are some exceptions like a Christian who considers their relationship with God to be entirely personal and not in line with any religion), but I think Hammy's overstepping a bit when they say "Non-religious means not believing in anything supernatural," because that's just not true. You can be a non-religious atheist and still believe that ghosts exist, for example, or be non-religious and still buy into shit like healing crystals with magic powers.
