WordWeb interprets the word Religious as meaning "Having or showing belief in and reverence for a deity". Therefore the answer is yes. If you believe in Diety that is sufficient, until you find a religious organization that suits you. Of course it is better to be an active religious person rather than just one who only thinks about religion.

Does spirituality and religion mean the same?
According to religionists spirituality and religion mean the same. But if one is not religious, but is theist these two topics, spirituality and religion are completely different. The one who believes in God, but not religion agrees that God existed long before religion and that creationism is nonsense since it is part of a book and not reality. One can be religious and not spiritual. That would be a person who follows the rules of their religion but proves false to its power. One can be spiritual but not religious. This could be a person who feels a real connection to God. The person may or may not believe in Jesus. The main characteristic is that the dogmas of religion do not box such a person in. They are less concerned about the rules religion imposes and the dogmas. A spiritual person searches for meaning and connection using the inner witness moreso than a predefined set of dogma from a particular religion. However, such a person may attend a traditional church or be a member of a particular religion. This is how I view it.

Can a minor become another religion than the one they grew up in without consent?
First of all, everyone in America, even minors, enjoys freedom of religion. No one, not even your parents, can force you to belong to any religion against your will, and no one can prevent you from belonging to a religion that you want to belong to. Secondly, religious belief is something that exists inside your own mind. It would be quite easy to lie about what you believe, if you needed to do so. Nobody has a way to know what you believe, other than what you tell them. Of course, there are religious observances that will be seen if you perform them, however, no religion is going to require you to do things that are not practical for you to do. You can belong to a religion by believing in that religion; in some cases you cannot be fully observant of the rituals or practices of that religion if you do not live an independent life. Eventually you will grow up and become an adult, and you will be able to run your own life in the way that you see fit. I would advise you, if you are living with your parents (or guardians) to avoid getting into unnecessary conflict with them. Your thoughts belong to you, but your parents have considerable control over your actions. If they are just going to get angry with you for having different religious beliefs than theirs, it's not worth it. Play along and make them happy, until you are ready to live on your own.
