I would say to be religious, you must either believe in a god or at least recognized system of beliefs. ie to be a good person, yet be an athiest, could be seen as being religous. To not believe and god and have faith, ie to conscoiusly strive to be a good person, seems to me to ‘be spiritual’. Disbelief in God, or a personalized god, yet with faith… In what, a force that cares about you as an individual? I’m not sure the human mind can really hold that concept without personalizing the force. And if that force doesn’t care about you as an individual, if you can’t interact with it, then it’s not ‘god’ in the traditional sense and why bother with it. These same questions led me to athiesm. Stick by your guns with your mom. Some people don’t believe athiests can really exist, so strong is their (misguided) ‘faith’.
