Yes, VERY possible!!
I, for one believe in the "Most High" but NOT in man's "organized groupings" called religion (which is most often used as a tool to instill fear and keep people separated and at war with one another).
What many people don't overstand is that religion and spirituality are two different existences. Spirituality is natural and is of God (or the "Higher Existence") and religion is from the egotistical mind of man.
I know of many "religious" people who's actions prove that they don't believe in God as they say they do. So, just because a person is or isn't religious, it doesn't prove that they do or don't believe in God.
**And by the way, beliefs are neither right or wrong; they are just beLIEfs... if the beliefs help improve your life, then GOOD! But, if the belief doesn't improve your life, find a new belief system!!
GREAT question!

In the 1980s, I read a book called "How to be a Christian without being Religious" by Tim la Haye (later to be a writer of the science fiction of the Rapture).
It was a commentary on letter to the Romans. It said that Christianity was a religion like any other but that to be a Christian you had to be beyond all that and have a "relationship with Christ", (whatever that means).
Obviously all this is weasel-wording to "prove " that Christianity is better than other religions.
Don't be fooled.

I believe in YHWH God, but not religion. Religion is what man
makes of the perfect way that Our heavenly Father gave us.
A wonderful relationship with Him gets messed up when we
do not take Him at His word & add on a lot of conditions &
ideas that we think up.
We can be religeous anytime, so beware. Take off the masks
& be honest with God.

Well depends what you mean, i believe in god but i don't follow an organised religion. But i believe i have a rleigion - it is just unique.
Personally believing god means you have some kind of religion so if that's what you mean then no. But you can believe in something that doesn't follow a set religion.
Personally i am spiritual.

Yes. I believe in some kind of spiritual being, but I'll never be part of any organized religion. I think it should be more personal that that.

Of course. It's called a Spiritual life.
Jesus himself did not open a single church... he and the apostles were sowing the "Word of God." The whole thing did not start as a religion.... but as a spiritual movement.
This resource is about that Original Spiritual Gospel.

It is. But it is another subtle form of self deceit. Human beings have a need to believe in something because we are always looking for pattern in life and God forms a nice little pattern. That does not mean it exists

Yes... there is no proof against the existence of God, but there is plenty of evidence against religion being true.

Yes...I have become aware of a spiritual reality based my own experiences. Neither Science or Organized religion has the answer. Acid opened my eyes
