When people ask me what my religion is, I always give them a "none" answer simply because I find religion too controlling. Rather than saying that I am religious, I would rather say "spiritual". Religion ties you to certain beliefs that is an either or belief. There are things that religion teaches that I question and I find that there are a lot of good beliefs from different religions. So why focus on just one religion when you can get the best teaching from different fields and grow yourself into a better person.
Others may believe in Jesus, others may believe in Allah, Buddha, Shiva or whoever gods they worship. Bottom line, there are still similar teaching from these religions. Each has their own beliefs and I am getting bits from each that suits my ideology and form my own personal connection with the creator. I believe that it boils down to your belief and your action against other who just claims to be religious because they were brainwashed.
On one hand, I have a friend who would claim that she is very much religious but she treats other people so poorly. She would instantly judge people and look down to them even being so blunt on hurting them verbally. On the hand, I have a friend who views these things quite similar to my idea (she was a mentor to me once). She would treat people like her equal and to some extent, she is more blessed and favored by people around her whatever religion those people believed in.
When we try to seek answers, we should get out of our comfort zone and challenge ourselves to take a step farther away from our comfort and never be afraid to learn things that can help us in the end. For those religious people, it is not bad to challenge your creator for when you challenge, you are seeking answers and when you find the answers, your beliefs will be much stronger and there will be reasons why you follow certain beliefs.
Enlightenment is spiritual.
