Spirituality involves believe in the supernatual, spirits, the divine -- however you want to translated the concepts into words.
Religion is a codified set of beliefs, often spiritual, usually within some organizational structure.
I respect religions. I am spiritual.

I feel like they are not the same at all. I grew up in the christian church with religious parents and I was really into it at the time. I feel like for a teenager I was a spiritual person, but now at 27 I feel like even though Im not a religious person anymore Im still very spiritual and things are sacred to me and I talk to God. I feel like Im closer to God than I ever have been.

I am Spiritual as the Holy Spirit abides in me. Religion is an accepted belief system among those with similar Faith beliefs. My religion is how I choose to worship collectively with other believers.
Spirituality is how I worship the Father and Son, In spirit and in Truth.

I am not at all into any Religion . I am however I'm a very Spiritual
minded person . Spirituality is connecting with my higher power
on a one on one , {in meditation and or prayer } connection.
Religion to me is men leading other men telling them how to worship .

Spirituality is the freedom of expression and interaction. Religion is dogma with limitations. I am Lakota.

Spirituality is a realization. Religion is a dogma.

I know people who are religious but not at all spiritual and people who are spiritual but not at all religious. I myself am both very religious and very spiritual.

Ugh! Ask yourself this: If there were no religions in this world, would there also be no wars?
I am definitley spiritual; I believe in God which stands for creation, love, freedom and compassion.

God does not care about mans religious beliefs, his word is spirit so when you live by his word you are living in the spirit. The Lord has many forms of spirits.
