I haven't read the article on the poll, but the following is a probable
explanation of the fact as given here.
Simple. Just as "politics" for most people equals _partisan_ politics (which is why an anti-war group, for example, can list itself as officially "non-political"), so for these respondents probably "religious" means "church-going." So they are non-church members who still believe in some sort of god who does various things.
