Spirituality can refer to an ultimate reality or transcendent dimension of the world; an inner path enabling a person to discover the essence of his or her being, or the “deepest values and meanings by which people live.” . Spiritual practices, including meditation, prayer and contemplation, are intended to develop an individual's inner life; such practices often lead to an experience of connectedness with a larger reality: a more comprehensive self; other individuals or the human community; nature or the cosmos; and/or the divine realm..

Spirituality is often experienced as a source of inspiration or orientation in life. It can encompass belief in immaterial realities and/or experiences of the immanent or transcendent nature of the world.

How do you define the difference between religion and spirituality? ?
Q. For you personally how does religion differ to spirituality and how is it the same? Are you religious AND spiritual or just one or the other? If you are religious does that mean you adhere to one particular doctrine, eg. Christianity, and follow the bible, go to church. OR Muslin, believe in the Koran and visit the mosque? If you are religious do you HAVE to go to church? Personally I don't follow any set religion, but I consider myself to be spiritual. Just wondered how "religious" people view religion and spirituality?

A. IMO religion is when you believe that your faith is an objective truth, applicable to all. Spirituality is when you believe your faith is a subjective truth, applicable only to you. That's why religions and religious people tend to be the ones that want to slam their beliefs down your throat, whereas spiritual non-religious people are cool with whatever.

How can i cut religion out of my spirituality?
Q. I like spirituality but hate religion, so i would like to cast away religious thoughts like gods , angels, jesus and sin and live free from delusion, but still spiritual. What type of path can i walk where i am spiritual but believe in only that which has evidence?

A. Religion is how you practice your faith and how you believe. Also what others may call "organized religion" "Religious thoughts like gods , angels, Jesus and sin" I believe to be what is...meaning that this is your faith aside from all religions, you believe in this. Spirituality and Faith I believe go hand in hand. That might be why you are having a hard time separating it. Look around you and you will find your evidence, and then just accept what is...is:)

Why do atheists come to the religion and spirituality section?
Q. Do you think that maybe deep down they regret not having an spiritual relationship with God and are angry about it, so they come to this spot knock everything they can think of about religion and spirituality?

A. Mostly to ridicule Christianity. They think that's fun.

Spirituality concerns itself with matters of the spirit, a concept closely tied to religious belief and faith, a transcendent reality, or one or more deities. Spiritual matters are thus those matters regarding humankind's ultimate nature and meaning, not only as material biological organisms, but as beings with a unique relationship to that which is perceived to be Reality beyond the bodily senses, time and the material world.
