Do you think its rude if I’m asked if I’m religious.. I don’t usually answer back... I think it’s personal.
Answer to Question 599 What does being religious mean? If someone were to ask me if I was religious I wouldn't know how to answer. Does it mean following a set of rules and going to church every Sunday? Orthodox Christianity is not a religion it is a way of life and so my life should reflect if I have faith in God. My clothes say that I am religious, but they cannot speak about my faith which is personal. I am not religious because I don't follow a religion, I live a way of life that I believe will bring me closer to an eternal life with God. I don't think it is rude to not answer, or you can simply answer with I don't know
