"In what?"
"No, I mean are you religious?"
"Huh? You asked if I'm a believer?"
"Yes."
"Well, what's that got to do with religion?"
"Religious people just are believers."
"What, other people don't believe things? Scientists don't believe?
"Not in religion."
"Well, maybe not. But that's my point: belief doesn't distinguish the religious from the non-religious."
"Religion and belief go especially well together. Religious people just decide to belief because they want to, while the scientist believes only after they've evaluted the evidence."
"Well, that's what you believe. I think if you looked into my tradition, you'd see things are different."
