Part of the problem is that most people associate Religion with Faith. They are to totaly seperate things, at least I thinks so. Religion is what tells people that they should go to church on Sunday, that you need to go to confession to be absolved of your sins, kneel to pray, and genuflect before entering a pew. Most of these things are not expressly stated in the bible as necessary.

Faith on the other hand is just the genuine belief in God. It is a personal thing and is different from person to person. And how you practice your faith is totally up to you. Relgion is just a guide created by other people.
Of course someone cannot be Religious without some faith, this isn't true the other way, someone can have faith without being religious.

The majority of people in America belong to the Christian faith. Most of these people follow different form of Religion that believe in this faith such as Catholic, Presbeterian, and Protestant religions. Sadly in some parts of the country, especially in close knit communities, people look at religion as a sign that someone is faithful, when truely these are two different things.
