Sure of course. Why not? Religious is after all a belief in a god.

Yes. I believe in a greater being, call it what you will. I like to call it 'The Universe'. Some call it god, some Allah, others Buddha, but they are all the same. There is but one creator and men have made him/her in their own image, not the other way around.
I once read on a wall near my home
God is a woman!
She is Black!
It was heaven!
This is probably one of the most profound religious statements that I have ever come across.
Having been dead and revived, I believe that there is more to life than this world and that there is an afterlife where we have to pay for what we have done here.
Having said that, the most christian soul I have ever met in this life was a man who was a devout atheist and a card carrying communist. In his daily activities he showed more charity and compassion than any person I have ever met.
Organized religion has become about prolonging its own life and its own control over the masses and the money that they represent. It is no longer about bringing us into enlightenment or leading us to god or any other greater being.

I don't know. This is what I do beleive, I beleive that I do not have to go to a building or be part of an organized group to beleive in a higher plain of existation(heaven), a being of higher power(god), and that a great leader/man (Jesus) died on a cross in the name of saving mankind from their sins. I do beleive that the bible holds many important lessons for life on ... money, leadership, relationships, laws, and history of the area from which it was written. Which I read 3 - 5 times a week an hour each day. Without a building or group, if I do not understand something I will call a friend of mine that is a preacher and ask him.

Great question. Religon is a man made concept and often has nothing to do with God. Where was God when the Catholic Priest raped all the children? Where is God when the Jewish state of Israel keeps murdering Palestinians? Where is God when Muslims decide to blow up up some innocent civilians? Spirituality transcends religon. Jesus was not very religous but was very spiritual which made him appear very special. Unfortunately many of his followers are religous and not spiritual ( just check to see al the hate and venom that comes from christians on this website). I dont believe God is an Intellectual concept. We will never know God but we just might feel him.

I don't think the goal is to "be religious." Many people religiously go to church without having a personal relationship with Jesus as their Saviour and Lord. Only God can judge the heart. The goal is not to join a group, but to find a church that teaches the Bible and tries to live by it. Believers are taught in the Bible to fellowship with one another, but the condition of one's heart and soul is what interests God.

Yes, there are a growing number of theists who believe in God but do not subscribe to any organized religion.

Yes of course. I do not and will not belong to an organized church. I believe in God and I am non-denominational.
