I believe that a spiritual person can be connected to a spiritual being without religion.

Of course you can. I love nature and everything that it entails. I have driven to console a friend at 4am. I even pick slugs and caterpillars up off of our front porch so they don't get stepped on. Being a good person has nothing to do with religion. My mom never took me to church as a child because as she put it, that's where a LOT of "fake" people hang out. She taught me right from wrong and I still carry those strong morals today. Besides that, I've seen so many hateful and sorry religious people that I know for a fact that being religious have nothing to do with being spiritual as backwards as it sounds.

Yes. I myself follow God's Torah but I do not subscribe to the Jewish Judaism. I feel that God's Torah is pure while Judaism is filled with men's tradtions. So because of this, I have no religion to follow, but God's Torah teaches me to live a spiritual life before Him.
I believe having the connection with God automatically connects one to His creation. Thus the meaning of being spiritual, connection with God without man's religion.

If you are a spiritual person, sometimes you can not believe in Religion. Pilate said to Jesus, "If you are the Son of God, just turn a little water into wine and I will grant you freedom." But Jesus said, "You have no power over my life!" What religion really respects that line of reasoning, and if so, then how is it that Pilate could allow Jesus to be killed? Is that not power over Jesus' life? If it is power, then what was Jesus doing or saying or both or any?

"Spirituality" is defined as your relationship to others and the world around you. So, yes. :)
I congratulate you on having a sense of connection with the world around you. If you look deep inside, you may find that your spirituality has a source in someone outside of yourself. He may be opening your eyes to exploring a greater understanding of Him.
Keep an open mind! Keep asking questions! Don't settle for simple answers, rather seek the narrow way.

Off the suited of my head, there are a number of that think of they are being non secular, mutually as the shun the church. This violates God's be conscious (Heb 10: 25), so which you're making Him unhappy. we are the church, the physique OF CHRIST, interior a church construction, or donning the Holy Spirit in our hearts everywhere we are! in case you're too stable for the church, the place is your golden chariot? i assume the biggest right this is that the be conscious faith consists of some bags, yet "the church" is with out blemish, spot or wrinkle", the BRIDE OF CHRIST!!! The bible says we believers are temples the place He is residing. compliment God! And the place 2 or 3 human beings are together, he's in the midst. The Bible says 3 strands are more desirable, woven together, than one after the other. So why circulate forth in weak point to purpose to serve God??? Remeber, if He convicts you, to be in church day after today, we've a clock exchange this night! We fall decrease back!!!

I don't believe in religion and I am very spiritual. Many religious people are not spiritual under your definition.
However, I believe that many people need religion as motivation to do what is "morally" correct. I put morally in parenthesis because that word is usually used in a judgemental way.

Absolutely 100%. No fear involved. We are spiritual beings having a human experience.

Yes, why not? if you want it to be. No one has the right to tell you otherwise because really how would we know?....people can say no you must believe in this or this religion to be spiritual but really, each to their own...all anyone can do really is believe in what they feel comfortable with and what they feel is right, so if this is what you feel comfortable with then go ahead, no one can take that away from you. It is no person's right or role to judge you
