Yup, I'm still reading the book.
I guess what the author is saying about religion is that a person can be "church-centered", but not necessarily be "principle-centered".
To a person centered on principles, religion may or may not be important. I think there are people who are principle-centered and very religious and spiritual, and also people who may not go to church often or at all, but who recognize God, are spiritual, and are driven by principles.
Still from the book, the highly effective person centers his life on principles.

Correct!
I should stress that there would be life problems about balance when you are church-centered.
