Not very helpful. I have religious friends that would be offended by that for sure.

Offended by the term itself? Do you think the word religoid has an innate negative connotation like "liberal" or "atheist" or "socialist"? Or offended by the definition?
I don't know exactly..most the religious people I know don't even like the term "religious". It's what we call them, not what they call themselves. Similar to Hackers being the same as Crackers to the outside world.

I wouldn't even like you calling me a "liberaliod". I think the "OID" brings to mind android. Like I'm a liberal who gets my guidance from outer space??? (read crazy, lacking logic)

I can't think of a way your term would be considered positive. It could be a catch phrase to describe crazy people...if that is what you mean it for. I wouldn't use it.
