Religion often involves organized beliefs, rituals, and a community, while spirituality is a more personal, subjective experience focused on inner peace, connection to the divine, or a sense of purpose. Religion often provides a framework, doctrines, and specific practices, whereas spirituality can be more flexible and individualized. People may identify with one, both, or neither.
Perhaps it’s simply a matter of striving for a “sustainable” feeling of well-being but not at the expense of others.
Thank you for posting that. I’ve always wondered what people meant by “spiritual.” Because I am neither religious nor spiritual, but whenever I’d indicate that I wasn’t religious, people would always follow it up with, “but you consider yourself spiritual, don’t you?” And I’d just be baffled. Like... what? I do like candles and incense, does that count? LOL!
