Answer 1

Yes a nice routine and great timing with the music.

Since Religion is a belief system in its simple term's all do have some belief system about something, even if it is limited to an opinion about this routine. Thus my conclusion for what it is worth is that all will have a religion whether they are spiritual or not.. Consequently I must answer your question with a clear YES,

Answer 2

Well, as in many things, a lot depends on your definition of the terms involved.

For me, "religious" involves a lot of external things, like an organized religion. Thus, if you participate a lot in religious activities, that might make you "religious."

And "spiritual" means something else, a kind of inner thing, whether it involves belief in a particular deity or merely a search for meaning outside of one's experience.

If you go to church a lot, you're religious.

If you have an inner belief in a particular deity *and* you participate in religious activities associated with that belief, I think you're both religious and spiritual.

And if you have inner beliefs or questions (I don't think we have all the answer), you're just spiritual. And you got there without being religious.

To answer your question, I'd say, "No, not necessarily."
