God is only words.
I think the question here is about a lot more than just religion. In fact, I don't think religion has anything to do with it. Religion is merely a a narrow, artificial, manmade construction that really has very little to do with spirituality for a lot of people. In practice, religion is fundamentally a tool for advancing man's political and material agendas as far as I can tell.

I think what Rerun wants to know is whether people hold some sort of spiritual belief system, likely of a conventional monotheist form.

Personally, my level of belief depends on how much I've been drinking. I drink religiously you see.
