I don't think being religious automatically makes you a "good" or "virtuous" person. Look at all those priests that molest little boys. :P Conversely, just because someone isn't religious doesn't mean they're "evil." I think that's silly.

No. I consider myself faithful, not religious. In my opinion, the word RELIGION has a legalistic connotation. So, while I'm not religious, I am spiritual and faithful.
Another question for you: can you be spiritual and evil? Satan is a spirit; and so are his demons. This is just for your consideration.

That's a bunch of nonsense. don't know where you got that idea from. Either way its whats in the persons heart that makes either one slightly better or worse. have had plenty of experience with both types in 60 yrs.

You can be both at the same time......some spiritualist concepts are not in opposition to organized religious teachings. How do you define "evil" anyway? Just wondering.

I don't think so....I'm not sure how you could even make that assumption in the first place. I would say that spirituality is at least evidence of some underlying moral structure, wouldn't you?

Evil is a state of cultural ethic, nothing more.
The same is true for religion.
Take this answer at face value, in all its simplicity, and I hope it suffices:
NO

no we are not , not at all .being spiritual is about loving God and learning about ourselves and the enviroment around us. Being spiritual is about spiritually advancing ourselves , its about so much but it is never evil.

No they are not in fact it is the other way around in my opinion.
