It means they do not follow any organized religion... Spiritual can exist without religion, but not the visa verse.

The tag "religious" is not a welcomed thing in most Christians minds. The Bible says "GOD hates religion." Religion dresses up and parades around for men to see him. Religion is puffed up and pompas.
Some say they are "spiritual" but most of the ppl I know (self included) would rather use the term "believer".

Absolutely. In my mind being "spiritual" just means that you feel that there is something more than just this here and now, something that we are all striving toward. So by that definition just about everyone, Christians, Wiccans, Druids, Deists, and Agnostics can be spiritual. "Religious" would denote that there is a set pattern of doctrine that you follow. Something that you feel with utmost conviction is the "right" path to spiritual enlightenment. One does not have to be religious to be spiritual and vice versa.

Certainly. There are spiritual people who aren't religious, and there are also religious people who aren't spiritual. You don't necessarily need to be a member of a religion to have a "spiritual experience".

It's possible to believe in a higher consciousness without accepting the silliness of the Bible.
