To all my readers who are devout in their faith:
Do you consider yourself faithful or religious?

"Though she be but little she is fierce." — William Shakespeare
I would say I’m more faithful than religious. But as soon as I do, I think I get real religious about it. Maybe.
What was the question?
Hmmm…I guess, because I’m a bit of a slacker, I’m more faithful. My religious-ness wavers (reading Scripture, attending services, etc.), but I tend to remain faithful and in communication with God throughout it all.
Since I consider it that I’m in a relationship, rather than just a religious person, I’d say faithful. Or something. Not “religious.”
The only thing I do religiously is have a cup of coffee first thing in the AM.
Definitely faithful. I’ve come to feel that religion is about people, faith is about God, and so religion hasn’t been a priority for me for a while.
On a journey from religious to faithful.
– Peace
I’m not sure what the difference is. Can’t I be both?
