For me, there may or may be a true 'God' or 'Supreme Being'. For me, it's irrelevant.
It's a set of beliefs, it's respect, it's a way of being... and if that happens to coincide with some religion then so be it.
Everyone has something that guides how they live. With some, it's something inside of them that directs them. With some, it's a belief that some higher being has told them how to do it. I find this to be the major dividing line for me when it comes to being religious or not - do you do it because you've been told to or follow someone else's commandments/beliefs, or are you self-directed.
