Reply #6: I guess it depends.

I think being religious is someone who prays and goes to church as much as possible. Someone who deeply believes in their faith and uses it to guide them throughout life. Then there are people -- probably most Americans -- who do not pray daily, or go to church often. They believe in God, but that's the extent of their religion. They may not belong to any religion and if they do, it's in lapsed form.

But that's just my take. I could be wrong.
