Great question. I like this one. I am "In Christ and He in me". I am a New Man in Christ. I am called out from religion. I have the Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ in me. If I have to pick one I pick spiritual.

I believe everyone is spiritual, but not Spiritual
religious: adhering to the pious practices associeted with a group that shares similar opinions on or worships a deity baed on their traditions, on fear, or desperation
spiritual: having a spirit
Spiritual: having a relationship with God Himself through Christ and doing good works out of a love for Him
I am Spiritual: born again

I am spiritual.
Religious is a set of man made rules and regulations and rituals and usually infused w/ hypocracy.
Spiritual is a deep connection with your maker. It is more personal and meaningful because you are using your own thoughts and words to convey how you feel and think.

Religion is more a group thing, while spirituality is generally more personal. I consider myself spiritual rather than religious.
If you insist on naming my "religion," it is Wicca, which is a very loosely defined group basically consisting of those who are willing to call themselves witches (basically; male witches may call themselves something different). There's no specific doctrine, and rituals are very different from one individual or coven to another. Even the symbols and names mean different things to different people.

Neither. Religion is man's attempts to make their way to God. Spiritual means that you don't really care if there is a God, you just feel there is more than the physical world.
I'm a Christian, which is someone who has a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. I'm into a relationship with God, not a religion and not a feeling.

Spiritual.
I consider myself connected to the rest of mankind, and do my best to help others and share part of what I have been given with them.
I consider myself connected to the Earth, and find great joy in working crops. I try to live responsibly and not just crap in the communal nest.
Religious is just a bunch of outward show. A person can have deep beliefs and convictions without making such a flamboyant thing out of it. Icons and fetishes are just things; they have no special powers. They're just symbols.
Group singing and recitation does nothing for me.
I'd rather be out working in the garden.

I am a spiritual person.
Religions where started by man, are ran by man and have all the problems of man (kind).
Spirituality is a direct connection that doesn't need a preacher, rabbi, reverend, etc., etc., to tell you what is right and wrong.
