It depends what you would consider to be religious. I like to pray and I believe in something much bigger than us humans. I do not think we need to go to mass every single week or even need to show others how much we love God. I think much of certain churches are just like theatrical, like fake, if you know what I mean. What matters is what I feel inside and not what I show others, but I do see more people simply doing things for show. Also charity, some people like to rub on people's faces that they do charity so they feel good about themselves, but if you really want to help you will do it and not have the need to tell anyone or even expect people to be thankful. I believe we need to thank God in our own way and thus answering your question directly I do believe I am religious on my own ways, in a way that I am not fake, in a way that it is pure and genuine.

I'm not a religious person if you are referring to being a fanatic, no I'm not and don't intend to be one because it always bring more confusion to the mind than clarification especially from clergymen that want to thrown all sort of doctrines to us.

I'm just a simple person that loves God,I just believe there's God and he is in control of all man's affair here on earth and he needs us his sheep to just worship and appreciate him while doing away with evil.I think if people should just follow this simple rule,life will be a lot better than all the religious war we have now in the world.

I go to church and also fellowship with other brethren, care for the sick and also give to the needy when possible. I think I'm just trying to live good above evil.

It depends on what you consider as being religious. It doesn't mean that your are an extremist or a fanatic. It just shows that you have certain established doctrines and teachings by which you live your life. There are people who do everything in the book and still do not consider themselves as religious. Others say they are religious but nothing to suggest that.
I have a religion a and I try to live by it. I wouldn't boast of being the best at it or most religious. I certainly know that I am spiritual in the way that I pay more attention to the things that affect the soul. It may not be in the way that a religion prescribes. It definitely takes a spiritual person to be religious but it doesn't take a religious person to be spiritual.

No I don't consider myself to be a religious person but I believe there is something else after this life when we die. I believe in some higher being that we may have to answer to when we leave this earthly life. I don't go to church but I must admit that in my darkest hour I have cried out for help so I guess somewhere deep inside me I  must have some kind of beliefs.

When I see the suffering of little children, the death of innocent people in acts of terror,  it's hard for me to imagine why a higher being would let it happen and not put a stop to it, This is why I question an almighty being who has infinite power.

My parents were not religious and I think for most people this will have a huge impact on how we view religion. Although I was baptized into the Church of England religion was not a topic that was discussed much in my family so I was left to form my own opinions as I grew up based on my own experiences and what I have learned from books and other people.

Yes I believe I'm a religious person. I grew up with religious parents and aunt. I used to be a Catholic. Our family never miss Sundays. We are involve in ministries in the church and my mother teaches us the Bible.

When I'm 12 years old I accepted Jesus in my life and try to put God in the center of my life. My aunt invited me to worship Mary.

As I grow old I see myself seeking peace and courage in reading the Bible. I became interested in Born Again Christian religion. When I turn 20 we change religion from Catholic to Born Again. I started teaching in a Christian school so we decide to shift religion

But I have years in my life that I turn cold to God I stopped going to church but I'm still praying.

Now my faith is back I go to church again. I pray 3 times a day morning, midday and night. I'm less active in church now. I'm happy being a religious person

I don't always look at myself from the angle of being a religious person as this life is not about you getting to carry religion on your head as if it is the major thing that is going to bring you closer to the almighty God. One thing that is crucial when we are talking about religion is for us to understand that we should always show the good teachings of our religion to others irrespective of color, tribe, language and religion.
This is the point where I can say that such a person is doing the things that matter when being a religious person is concerned. I have not always been that person that others look up to when we are talking about religion, but I believe that understanding the need for us to live right and in peace with everyone that is around us is necessary.

I am born knowing God and who is our savior. I go to church every Sunday but hardly read the bible. But one day i was invited to a different religion and since then I learn how to read the bible when in my religion don't introduced. After months of attending this another church I decided to be baptized and change my religion. I consider myself not a religious person today because I have a partner who doesn't believed what God is. But, that's not mean I don't believed anymore. I still do believe but, I don't go to church the way I did before I met him. And reading bible is not my everyday activity and from time to time I read verses. You can call a person religious when he or she will go to church every Sunday, read bible, follow practices of the church, and sharing it with others. That's what I know.

I am not a religious person but habitual actions that we have inbuilt may make others feel we had a religious lean. Many of us won't realize the fact that majority of our actions are just replica of society we are living in. That include religion, beliefs etc. If a person is asked in personal about his/her religious views you may get just universal answers or else purely illogical answer which he could convey it saying the trust in god for him is inexplainable. People do fall for the bait of others view on a topic of common interest. The way you brought up may have few religious thoughts, actions inbuilt. That doesn't make you religious until you accept that you cultivated it keeping your religion in view.

I am spiritual rather than being religious. I talk to God through prayers and religion is thee to help us understand the teachings of God so that we can be spiritual.

"Religious person" this term sounds so simple but in reality, it's not, who is a religious person? one who follows each and every ritual mentioned in his/her religion, but does it really makes them religious, not really. Because sometimes people follow things, just because they have to, this may be due to their upbringing, or society.

No, most religions are crappy and creepy...a sort of 'paint-by-the-numbers' approach to spirituality, for those meek sheeple that desperately need a shepherd to guide their every step, stick a bottle in their mouth, burp them, and change their diapers. The only purpose for any religion is as a 'jumping off point'....beyond that it is excess baggage at best...a major impediment at worst. I consider myself a mystic and occultist. I forge an ecletic path uniquely my own, towards a destination entirely of my choosing. As for the 'gods', my belief lies somewhere between The Deist and The Agnostic.

I don't know what is religious from your point of view, but for myself I am happy that I am Christian and do my best to follow Jesus steps. I don't like those who try to show up that they are praying while they are bad inside. I feel happy when I saw those who have faith and pray from the bottom of their heart. I pray and I try to do my best to be a good person .

Jesus said :
And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full.but when you pray, go into your room , close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your father, who sees what is done in secret , will reward you. And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. Do not be like them for your father knows what you need.( Matthew 6:5-8)
 
For me this is religious too but in the good way you can't separate being religious from being Christian. It's the way how you Practice your religion.

I consider myself spiritual, but not necessarily religious. I believe in a higher power and in connecting with the divine, but I do not necessarily identify with any particular religion.

Religion is a wide topic in this world. every religion has multiple of believes, customs and norms. it is difficult to actually say that I am religious since its only possible to believe in one faith. I am a devoted Christian who believe in one supernatural God and His only son who died for my sins. I have absolute faith in Him and only Him
