What's the difference between being religious and being spiritual? [Spirituality & Religion]

spiritual is a nebulous term for people who have no solid beliefs but want to sound cool.

Being both is fine. In fact it's the best option - and the only one actually consistent with the Bible.
Those who say they are "spiritual but not religious" usually mean they pick and choose what they believe (and not based on any rational reason, but because it suits them or makes them feel good). Of course... you a religion is a dead letter without spirit... but spirituality without religion has no real basis to develop truth from.

I think you can be both.

I think you could get many different ideas about that. For me, being Spiritual has nothing to do with worshipping invisible sky fairies, no deities. It's being connected to Nature and all living things. Respecting both. Celebrating both.Using, feeling the existing energy that is always through me and around me.

Religion is a tolerant organisation for just religion.


Spiritual, depends what you mean by spiritual

(Organized) Religion has some sort of dogma or rules, while that is not necessary for spiritualism.

Religious = includes gods and/or very specific written texts.
