Religious spirits are very argumentative.
They are way more focused with being right than engaging in loving relationships.
Their emphasis is on everyone agreeing to rules and regulations than anything else, and on top of it all, they avoid dealing with their brokenness by arguing about theology and telling others why they are wrong.
Another example of this would be if you're a terrible listener and you often shut people down before before having a chance to even hear them out. OR spending a lot of time arguing issues that are not that important to the life of other believers, or that aren't even salvation issues.
**These religious spirits will even cause ministries to not have anything to do with any other ministry or person who does not view things the same way they do, or do things the same way they do. OR they won't associate with anyone who has a slightly different theology in certain areas.
