I am religious and I don't have any faith based beliefs either. A religion is just a coherent system to support a set of values. I personally follow the Old Testament. You can read more here.

I am not opposed to a metaphorical interpretation of the Old Testament in the way the author of that article advocates. This may be semantics, but how would you differentiate between a philosophy and a religion, or wouldn't you?

I am the author of that article. Philosophy is only about ideas. Religion is a complete system that includes ideas, a shared narrative, and rituals that combine to support a value system.
