Religious spirits, like many other types of demons, have relatives or similar demons in their groupings. This is a basic list of demons that you might find in somebody who has a religious spirit:

* judgementalism

* self-righteousness

* religious pride

* criticism

* legalism

* perfectionism

* division

* error (doctrinal falsehood)

* unbelief

* doubt

* confusion

* argumentism***

* false holiness

* salvation by works

* guilt

* condemnation

* fear of losing salvation

* fear of God (unhealthy, scared feeling)

* intolerance

the person is trying to make things right with God themselves and not relying on the work of Christ, which already paid their debt in full.

If you think of yourself as more important than others, then you almost certainly have a self-righteous or false holiness spirit. Other things you might look for are feelings that you're always right and everybody else is wrong, or a weakness with being outspoken. Somebody who comes across as a know-it-all may also have religious spirits.

Thinking that you can do things apart from God is another dead-giveaway. Jesus made it very clear that apart from Him, you can do nothing.

Mishael: arguing in front of potential salvation seekers shouldn't happen. Our witness matters more.
