First of all, I believe that whatever floats your boat and what works for you is what works for you. However, this is my theory:
1) religious person ~ goes to church to PRACTICE A PARTICULAR FAITH
2) spiritual person ~ lives with the spirit within them 24/7
(religion & spiritual can be combined)
3) religious fanatic~ my way or no way! My religion or no religion! I don't care for people who try to FORCE religion down anyone's throat! It is an individual's choice if they choose to or not!
WHAT REALLY MATTERS IS HOW YOU LIVE YOUR LIFE, PERIOD!
any other interpretations????

Fanatics tend to make religion or Christianity, to be specific,
irrational,
forceful,
psychotic,
the way all Christians feel.
That is not the case and a fanatic is sometimes a religious person, a spiritual person too,its just they have been
mislead,
sick and tired of being sick and tired
hurt
you get the picture
Labels are a tough thing to enclose everyone in, with those particular definitions. I think people are people and you only get flack for your beliefs when you mention God or the devil. . . . . atheists don't believe. . . . .but have fanatics . . . . .. . . . Religion is belief . .. . . . and it has its fanatics too.

Spiritual has their own path and ways of belief, religious follows an organized religion, and the fanatic follows an organized religion, but they are obsessive about it all.

Jesus parable is good, the man who was robbed and left for dead along the side of the road. was the preist the religouse fanatic who walked by. or the other guy the spiritual man who walked by on the other side, and maybe the guy who lent his hand and had compasion was he the spiritualy religouse man. Anyway great parable, and exaple of hope for humanity

Loosely talking, a individual's "spirituality" concerns his/her relationship with the universe. "faith" concerns that individual's relationship with a divine being. a non secular individual recognizes a connection between all issues that transcends the actual international (consequently the emphasis on "spirit"). a non secular individual attributes those connections to a plan laid out via a bigger ability than we are waiting to work out or totally comprehend. an significant distinction is that faith is extra regularly linked with codes of habit or "morality." in case you're in seek of broader recommendations like "the which ability of existence," yet no longer unavoidably finding to place each little thing right into a ethical attitude, then i assume try to be considered as "non secular yet no longer non secular." on the different hand, in case you notice your faith as a straightforward algorithm via which you, as a individual, will gain eternal paradise, then i might actually call you "non secular yet no longer non secular." subsequently, specific, the two are obtainable...
