Ever heard of 'spiritual' people. I believe some oddball religions as well as some eastern religions do not believe in a god. For example, the yin and yang are just two forces that balance out the good and bad in the Universe. Not gods.
Worship of a force, or a balance, can certainly be religious without including a god.

Many people do that they seem to confuse religion with relationship... I am a believer in Jesus I am a disciple not a christian. I do not believe in religion. Religion has blinded people to do evil "for the cause of God" I do believe in an all mighty God that will judge the living and the dead when that day comes. Religion for many people is just tradition just something they do they have not actually experianced a relationship with God.
God bless

Religious, No. Spiritual, Yes.

Interesting question....I would say spiritual, yes, religious, no, because a person would need a god(s) as a foundation to that belief system.

You can be religious about anything. You can excercise religiously. Being religious has nothing to do with believing in God.

Religion is just our clumsy answer for the unknown concept of divinity. A better question would be is it possible to be godly without being religious? As Bob Marley said, "Who feels it knows it"

It depends on your definition of "religious." My definition is a belief in supernatural phenomena, which must be attributable to some mechanism which could be plausibly called god. By that definition, the answer would be No.

Yes. There are religions such as Buddhism or Daoism which do not revolve around a god but, rather, deal with a person's spiritual journey.

If by that you mean can someone belong to church and not know who God is on a personal basis--yes.

Considering all the people of religion before Judaism... I'd say it's quite possible.
