The term "religion" suggests to me an organization that has created for itself whatever "god" rules they have chosen to follow. I have no objection to those organizations unless they intend harm in some way (read Jim Jones). My chosen beliefs do not fit neatly into any organized religion that I am aware of, so I am more comfortable speaking of my individual spirituality, rather than stating I am a Catholic, Baptist, or Jewish.
I once thought myself an agnostic, perhaps even an atheist, simply because I couldn't find common ground with a specific religion. I find that position to be nonsense now. I have chosen a very personal relationship with a superior being that I live by now. I would be hard-pressed to list the god-rules of my belief system.
