I don't celebrate. I never like that holiday.
As to that "spectrum"...
Let's start with groups of 3 on either end.
The left group are various grades of non-believer. Quibble about the choices, if you must, but it doesn't seem critical. On the right are three grades of evolution/creation belief with-in religion.
These two groups are not broken down measure the same thing.
Of the middle three, "Spiritual-nontheistic" and "Deist" fit within an extension of the left group toward grades of theists, but "religious naturalist" sounds like a position on creation than on god (Big Bang + evolution + god).
It's just a jumbled mess. (The 2D plot and the reason/imagination spectrum are also really bad.)

There are so many things I missed out on! I could have been here observing instead of wasting my time learning how to walk (was 3 in '09)

How else can we begin to understand the religious milieu we find our selves in?

Fascinating name is Akita! I’m sure you know the history!
The spectrum of belief is an attempt to fit dislike things in a pattern.
As for what is “ rational “
A survey at Chicago U determined 70% of doctors believe in God.
so it clearly shows the scale of “ rationality” as nonsense!
Those at the sharp end of intensive care dealing with cardiac arrests certainly no longer have the certainty they once did about consciousness as just a process of the brain. It doesn’t fit the evidence .
life is not just chemistry, and with that the entire origin of life supposition is blown out of the water,

"In the Tanakh, YHVH (יהוה) is the personal name of God and his most frequent designation, occurring over 6,800 times. This is the Mysterious or "Unutterable Name" of the God of Israel. "
