Can belief in God be separate from religious beliefs?

[zoobyshoe]

No no no. I'm saying that a belief in the concept of God whatever that may be to a person is different from that persons belief in a Religion.

God and religion are not the same things.

So for instance: Catholics.

Catholics have a monotheistic belief. So they have a single god and they assign to him special godly properties and what not.

Now that monotheistic belief is vastly different from believing in most of the Holy Bible and the interpretations of this Holy Bible. Believing in God in concept is vastly different from a persons belief in religion. This is most clearly noticable in christianity... look at how many different churches there are. They all believe in the exact same concept of God though, the religious beliefs are different.

I am still not sure what you mean. Are you saying it's possible for a person to put together their own concept of a supreme being, one that requires no religious observance? If that's what you mean, it's certainly possible for that to happen, for what it's worth.
