I'm a christian but it seems people concerned with spirituality, just like damning christians. Spirituality and religion is not the same and there is a site here for pagans and wicans, i wonder if christians would be able to communicate still with each other frequently, or are we naturally defensive.....?

People should never forget spirituallity.
In theory spiritually and religion should go hand in hand.
I found people these days use their religion as a form of nationalism, as a way of belonging to a group. I believe they got it wrong, that's not the way you should approach religion. If this is the way you go on about it, it would be better for everyone to stay out of it.

Naturally defensive! Its just the way it is. Christianity teaches one way and one way only to feel God and his presence or experience his miracles. Where as people who feel God in other ways or in their own way are downed and judged by Christians to be Heathens or Pagans. Its all the same thing called something different. It just makes me laugh! In some religions people come down with a spirit and dance and shout, in Christianity this is frowned upon as possession but they jump around and dance and shout with "the Holy Ghost/spirit!" herefore justifying their spirituality. IN pagan beleifs they light insence and candles to clear the air of negativity and to clear things up so that spiritual work can be done, Churches light insence and candles for God and its ok and so very different from what Pagans do. SOrry for the Sarcasm it is what it is!

Yeah mate, they already are on seperate pages, but only in the dictionary. Spirituality is merely our personal beliefs and/or understanding of the spiritual world/dimension. Religion is just how one expresses their spirituality, whether they share the same beliefs with others or not. You and I are Christians. We express our spirituality with our organized religion.
It's almost laughable how Wiccans and other pagans claim they aren't religious. So many of them boast "I'm spiritual, not religious!" Wicca is their religion. Silly rabbits.
Peace!

Yes, I couldn't agree more.
Personally I don't buy into any of the major Religions, but have my own beliefs when it comes to spirituality. Perhaps seperation of the two on here will lead to less hostility in some of the answers.

Your supporting paragraph doesn't make very much sense.
But, in case you're trying to say they're not (and you're very confusing) Paganism and Wicca ARE religion.

Religion is about - Money (The God of Religion)...
I do not follow any man made (i.e. all of em) Religion, however I am in no way an atheist, which may be confusing to some religious sheep...

I think they are opposite sides of the same coin and that coin should be flushed down a toilet.
