Goodness, no! Christianity is one of the most organized religions out there. If Christianity isn't a religion, then what is?
I consider "spiritual" people to be people who believe in something, but don't accept the structure of a certain holy text, prophet, etc.

Yes. True Christianity is very spiritually based. Religion is simply customs and traditions. Christianity is a spiritual relationship between the Christian and Christ.

Absolutely not. I have been a practicing Christian for 50 years, and a clergyman for 12 of them....and I have no idea what the term "spirituality" means. There are lots of "spirits' out there...some of them not very nice ones.
Christians are indwelt with only ONE spirit - the Holy Spirit. At our Baptism. That is pure religion.
As St. James said: "Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world." James 1:27

Spirituality and adherence to dogma are notably diverse issues. The christians that do not realize this have a tendency to be very undesirable at both. is reasonably I have met some very religious christians, yet they seem few and far between. i understand many more effective religious atheists, agnostics, pagans, Heathens and "different" others than i understand religious christians. i imagine it does come right down to the confusion most of seem to have about the relationship (or somewhat the shortcoming of a relationship) between dogma and spirituality.

To me...my christianity is a relationship not a religion. Its about a relationship with the creator. The biggest problem with the church today is religion....even Jesus didn't like the Religious Pharosies in the bible.....people who just wanted to be seen with a holier than thou attitude....there is so much more freedom when you center your life on a relationship with God and not just a religion.

Christianity has nothing to do with spirituality! It's all about religion.

NO....it is ALL religion with a few genuine persons here and there that give it a dash of spirituality.

SPirituality comes from within, christianity comes from a book.
A christian man goes to church, and sits
impatiently and day dreaming of fishing. A spiritual
man goes fishing, and day dreams of God. christianity runs
on guilt,fear,sin and is mind driven. Spiritualism
runs on truth, peace, and joy, and is Heart driven.
Spiritualism is a life style christianity is a learned
from a book and folk lore you're born spiritual!!!!

The same. Christianity is a spiritual religion.
Drinking beer at the bar every night is drunk religion.
Atheism is a dumb religion.
