Someone unaffiliated to any party is typically referred to as an independent voter or unaffiliated voter. This means they do not register with or align themselves with any specific political party, allowing them to maintain a neutral stance and make decisions based on individual candidates or issues rather than party loyalty. This can provide greater flexibility in voting, as they can choose candidates from any party during elections.
They are not the same, but they overlap. To be unaffiliated means one is not connected to any formal political party. Independent voters are also unaffiliated, however, in most states voters can register officially as Independent. Thus, Independent can be an official, state-recognized political stance, whereas unaffiliated is an informal term that simply means not connected to a party. So all Independents are unaffiliated, but not all unffiliated voters are officially Independents.
No. If you are registered with a party, you must vote in that party's primary. But if you are an unaffiliated voter, you may choose to vote in the Democratic, Republican, or Unaffiliated Primary. You must choose only one party's primary. Participating in a partisan primary will not affect your status as an unaffiliated voter. If you vote an unaffiliated ballot you will only vote for those offices that are non-partisan (i.e. Judges).
Unaffiliated means "I have no religion".
A semi-closed primary is a type of primary election where only registered party members and unaffiliated voters are allowed to participate. This means that voters who are registered with a different political party are not allowed to vote in the primary, but unaffiliated voters are given the option to choose which party's primary they want to participate in.

An unaffiliated Christian is a Christian who does not have a denomination nor a membership in a church. Unaffiliated Christians will attend more than one church; unaffiliated Christians will go to one type of church on one Sunday and will go to a different church the following Sunday. I believe that this practice is increasing and it might be because many Christians do not feel that their personal beliefs are compatible with church teachings.
