I do think that no person exists without a belief system. Some value or thing is bound to be the most important to a person over all the others. There is no way around ritual (patterned behavior) and decisions are made according to one’s belief system. That is why “I’m unreligious” to me doesn’t really compute unless by “religion” one means only religions which have a written text and or state themselves to be a religion. Usually what people mean when they say they do not have a religion is, that they don’t know the name or have a name for their belief system, although it includes rituals and shares beliefs with large numbers of other people.
