Religion divides people, spirituality unites them.

They are not opposites. Religion doesn't have to divide people. Religion is a sociological term which may "group" people, but people of religion divide themselves if they choose. I know many people of many different faiths who do not divide.
Categories help people to find each other. Categories help people with similar viewpoints to come together.
Too, spirituality doesn't necessarily unify people. You can have spiritual people with divergent views who will never come together; their spiritualities may be antithetical.
In any case, religion and spirituality are related and I think they belong together.

good point but it's obvious that people generally associate religion with spirituality.

Eagle,
You´ve got a good point there!
On the other hand, may be that is why!
Because they are opposites.
It stimulates many questions and answers and discussions.
Good night!
May God bless you.

I agree that spirituality should have it's own category.

Just to watch us fight and bicker amongst ourselves, then they take the best arguments from both sides and draw them up into scripts which they sell to makers of reality t.v. shows, and then they charge us to watch ourselves fighting and bickering amongst ourselves.
