How do you consider someone being religious?

Question

religion

Answer 1

some one who follows a belief that is considerd by many to be the way to lead your life and be a good human. someone who believes in a higher being or a divine way of life and death.

Answer 2

I think a religious person is someone that follows a religion. Are they culturally religious or spiritually religious? that's I guess another question.

Answer 3

When they curse you to hell..... haha

Hey my supposed to be good christian friend, cursed me one day because I didn't believe in his ideal. Man he should stay off the Beers.

So yes if someone tries to convert you, or preaches it non stop. Then thats hardcore.

But being religious is where you believe in something more mightier than man and is spritual I guess.
And will attend church/or equivalent place as well.... if not then thats just half way house.

Religion is either 100% or not....... otherwise you're just known as a Atheist?

But even if I'm not religious I will respect ones wishes... but to curse me ?!?! MAAAAAAN !!!
