@frawley -"personally religious" is that someone is religious themselves, but doesn't force it/show it off in front of others. I personally go to Mass sometimes, I visit the Blessed Sacrament often, and I pray to the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Saints, etc., and I wear the Borwn scapular around my neck and a Miraculous medal......but I would not show them off to everyone on the street, or start blessing myself on the street, or carrying my Missal under my arm everywhere I go. In other worse, I wouldn't shove religion down everyones throats, like these Evangelical Christians do.
I worked at a fundamentalist "christian" university when I was in college during the Summers in their mailroom. Religion dominated everything. It was always "Jesus this" or "Jesus that". I looked at their University list of Course offerings....10-12 fields in Science, same number of history courses, and a ton of "religion" courses. Everything supposedly is taught "from a Christian eprspective"...whatever that means. I seriosuly doubt if their courses are really valid because every course reeked of fundamentalist Christianity perspective. As an experiment, I asked one of my co-workers if she really believed one of his history courses given on the Prehistoric times, which was taught from a "creationist" perspective. I asked her if she actually believed, according to the description of that class, that prehistoric animals (including dinosaurs) co-existed with humans. When she said "YES!!!", despite all the scientific evidence, I realized that I had been working in a nut-house.
"Personally religious", is being devout in your own faith, but not shoving it down the throats of others, or objecting to those who don't share your views.....like fundamentalist Christians are so guilty of.
