Non religious theists?

I'm asserting that people who believe in God and follow the teaching of the Bible, believe that Jesus was the son of God, that God has a plan for his creation etc. are in fact religious even if they say they are not, which they have done here.

I see. You are not saying that the religious can be atheists, like Adrain pointed out with his example of some Buddhists, Christian Science, but that those who believe in the God of the Bible in a specific way according to your limited definition are religious regardless of their seeing fit to distance themselves from organized religion? What if they don't believe Jesus is the son of God but in fact God or they believe that God has no plan for his creation or whatever variation from your definition of religious might involve?

We theists would sort of bristle at the obvious fact that you might be dismissive or prejudice, judgmental in doing that, even though in a basic sense you have reasons other than those for objection.
