I don't think that's pedantic at all, it's a good distinction (though not sure how that meshes with what Doctordestiny had in mind).

Though I would tend to use the words in an opposite way, where religious refers to people who simply participate in an organization but believer refers to someone who believes in revelation from a higher power; "religious" was used as a pejorative in the churches I attended.

But the charts referred to don't speak at all to that (not that they have to since anecdotal evidence is sufficient to establish the validity of a claim...).
