Religous Spirit? Does anyone know what it is?

Most people of this form have called something or some comment religious. Sometimes I agree that it is religious and other times not. I presume it is that way with everyone on this site. So maybe no one on this site knows what it means. Is it the attitude, everyone is wrong and I'm right? Is it a disagreement of what is right or wrong? Even an atheist religiously denies the extentience of God. Is it the need to correct everyone who disagrees with you? Or is it the idea you have to go through a dark time to receive light? According to Websters Unabridged dictionary of the English Language, it gives this definiation.1)of pertaining to or concerned with religion etc, a religious holiday. 2)imbued with or exhibiting religion: pious, devout; godly; a religious man, 3) Scrupulously faithful; conscientious: religions care, 4)pertaining to or connected with a monastic or religious order. 5) appropriate to relgion or to sacred rittes or observation 6)a member of a relgious order, ocngregation, etc, a monk, friar or nun. 7) the relgious devout, or religious persons. each year many make religious pilgrimages to a shrine.

Did anyone besides Jesus call someone "religious"? Maybe we don't have the authority to do so since it is a judgement of the heart/soul.

Now when you answer, please don't get mired down in language for the sake of language rather then what it can convey. (Simplistic and clarity type answers.) calledoutPTL

Calledout,

Religion is taking God's name in vain. It's as simple as that.

Well, that pretty much rules out any response from any religeous spirits out there don't you think?

Gene, LOL But go ahead and answer, Gene.--I really think that is a subjective matter according to an individual, and a person doesn't have any clear cut Biblical values to go on. ( I don't see anyone except Jesus calling something or someone religious.) Please correct me if I'm wrong on that.)calledoutPTL
