Because many people aren't comfortable with religion. Religion is man made and not necessary if you want to follow a certain belief system.
I've seen alot of Theists on here claim to love Jehovah and Jesus and worship them/him, but claim to not be a part of any paticular religion.
Imo, Spirituality makes for a much better person.

They go hand in hand. Religion is what you believe, while spirituality is how the religion among other things makes you feel.

I'd rather be spiritual than religious and couldn't imagine my life without it.
Spirituality has helped me become a better person, helped me connect with the earth and helped so much to be a stronger person.

Spirituality means "Realisation of Self", Religion - religare means "Rejoin (with our true nature)"
Religion is a collection of spiritual practices.

Religion can teach us, the Holy Ghost is the spirit that confirms whether or not what we have been taught is true. Just because someone spouts something from the pulpit (or in this forum for that matter) does not make it truth. Only the Holy Ghost can testify of truthfulness to us. We have to gain enough experience to know when the spirit is acknowledging truth to us. I believe it is a life long process.

To me spirituality is connectedness through our non-physical self to the transcendent Eternal Creator.
Religion is a way of people with common beliefs to worship together. There is synergism in community worship.

"Religion" is man-made! (Man-made rules, laws, rituals, interpretations, ceremonies, etc.)
True spirituality can only come from emersing oneself in the Word of God.
