People can be spiritual and not be religious, just as a person can be religious and not spiritual. Voodoo is spiritual and say it isn't a religion. The ancients were spiritual, but they believed in many gods.

"Voodoo is not some kind of dark mystical force, it is simply a legitimate religion," says anthropologist Wade Davis, a National Geographic Explorer-in-Residence who has studied voodoo extensively in the Caribbean nation of Haiti."
I think Wicca ( not to be confused with " WITCHCRAFT" ) is more spiritual than religious. They are all about the environment, preserving the earth and all it's components.
I stand corrected.
Seems as though Wiccans do consider Wicca a religion:

"Q What exactly is Wicca?
A Wicca is an earth-based religion having the belief in two Deities: The God and The Goddess. They
also honor them in their many forms, such as Isis, Astarte, Demeter, Kali , Pan, Apollo, Zeus, Mercury,
and so on. We believe that all in the world is holy. From the proud eagle, to a rock on a trail, to a
butterfly, and even trees. It is a peaceful path, stressing that you should not only show respect for
others, but for yourself and our earthly mother.
