Most Muslims are very adherent to their faith. I had two co-workers that were Muslim. One would pray towards east every day, the other never drank alcohol or ate pork, and went to the Mosque every morning.
It depends on what religion, I guess. Most people who say they are Christian merely mean that they believe in God, and that they believe in Christ (and in some cases, believe Christ and God are the same).
I was raised in an ultra-conservative Christian upbringing. Do I call myself Christian? No. Do I believe everything I was taught? Yeah. Do I do what other people are STILL doing who were raised in the same religion? No. I haven't preached in years and years, but I was never baptized, and therefore never a member (not counted in the stats).
I believe in God, but I haven't prayed in years. People think this is the first evidence of a lack of belief, but they should think outside the box. This SHOWS belief. I mean, who would be THIS disappointed if they didn't believe God exists? Of course, I keep an open mind as to why my prayers weren't answered. God is always right, but I'm still sad about it.
