have been told by others I am personally more Spiritual than Religious because of my personal idiosyncrasies towards Religion.

Spiritual:
1 : of, relating to, consisting of, or affecting the spirit;
2 a : of or relating to sacred matters; b : ecclesiastical rather than lay or temporal;
3 : concerned with religious values
Religious:
1 : relating to or manifesting faithful devotion to an acknowledged ultimate reality or deity;
2 : of, relating to, or devoted to religious beliefs or observances;
3 a : scrupulously and conscientiously faithful; b : Fervent, Zealous
Contrary to what Maurice says, religion is not something other than a relationship with God. I don't see how it's possible to be spiritual and not religious, or religious and not spiritual. I am both, and I don't understand why some act like 'religion' is a bad word.

An athiest can be neither Religious [they could be religious ] nor spiritual . This leads to the question , What are they doing on the R&S site ?

Spiritual. Buddhist too.

You can definitely be a spiritual atheist.
I'd definitely consider myself spiritual, and...um...I'd call myself an atheistic polytheist. That's the best term I can come up with so far, anyway.

Me personally, I prefer spiritual; becuase religion refers to something other than an actual relationship with God

Any worshippers of stone can be spiritual; only the worshippers of the One True God are religious.

Both. My religion is Wicca and I am very spiritual.
