Somewhat, but I'm also open to them expressing their religious views in a way that doesn't reject humanism and makes me think that their version of religion hasn't supplanted their moral beliefs but encouraged them to be passionate about them. I'm far more contemptuous of people who specifically call themselves spiritual. That never ends up not being stupid.
