Spiritual but not religious

A person who is not into any particular traditional church denomination. They may gather different ideas from religions and craft their own theology that explains their life experiences or they may follow more of a mystical approach (meditation, yoga, earth medicine) to find their truth. They may feel a connection in nature (or guitar playing, or eating yogurt or having sex) that transcends the ego. They usually reject anything that comes across as dogma, (i.e. you must believe this to get into my group) and usually have a broad definition of what they consider "the Divine" to be.
People who believe in some kind of Divinity, but don't want to be associated with a particular church or theology, would call themselves spiritual but not religious.

Religious

Gullible and easily manipulated into viewing things in archaic traditional fashion rather than how science has proven them to be.
Ugh, my mother is religious; she believes in a higher power orchestrating the chaos of the universe and life despite the perfectly logical explanations provided by science.

Religious Dunning-Kruger

The Dunning-Kruger effect, summarized, states that fools are blind to their own foolishness, and the more foolish, the more blind. Ignorant people tend to see themselves as highly competent, particularly in the areas in which they are mostly uneducated.
In religion, the most dramatic example of the Dunning-Kruger effect is Creationism. The Bible as a Top-secret code for living a good life is ignored and some interpret the bible literally and are totally unable to interpret it as anything but the exact, word-for-word literal truth. Therefore, in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary, they insist the world is 6000 years old. "There is nothing new under the sun" references wordplay and why copyright infringement cases are mostly frivolous affairs of Human egoism. The newborn human child is something created new and proves we should not take every word literally.

It is a Top-secret code to be interpreted and understood individually.

People tend to be born into their religions, but the most obvious effect of the Dunning-Kruger is with the migration from Christianity to atheism or agnostic beliefs.

If you think you are a monkey's uncle, and yet claim to have moral superiority while denying absolute morals…then you are displaying the Dunning-Kruger effect.

The comfort generated by being in a majority fuel the effect and allows the effect to spread via religion.

An example: is a Family majority uniting to shun the only family member willing, to be Honest.
Religious Dunning-Kruger is why After her funeral the family all shared a meal together except the one not invited who in her spirit gifted all two dozen of her long-stemmed yellow roses to the ladies working the hometown stores that night. Her spirit spread happiness after she died using the flesh of her firstborn son.

Religious fundamentalist

A form of government wherein people are forced to believe in the currently residing religion. This usually results in very fanatical labourers and military forces, but the only education is religious propaganda, and technology is nonexistent. Thankfully, this system usually falls down for these reasons. A good example of religious fundamentalism is the Dark Ages in Europe (400 - 800 AD).
