"Religious" covers a lot of ground. You can have faith in a Supreme Being and live according to your faith's core principles without giving up reason and judgment. The evangelicals are a small subset of "religious."
To digress, Stephen Colbert had a fascinating interview a few weeks ago with Francis Collins, the head of the NIH. He talked about how he reconciles being one of the world's leading scientists, as he is, with being an evangelical Christian, as he also is. Religious doesn't have to mean crazy.
