Religion teach's a Doctrine as to how men see Gods word ,or God
subject to their interpretation and the Holy Scripture as their carnal minds understand it ,,some know the Creator through the Holy Spirit ,they are the Sons and Daughters of God but to often the fruits of the Church have shown ,they are going through the motions ,,as the Pharisees and Sadducee and scribes they have a form of godliness but lack the key ingredient ,,the Holy Spirit
Christ said unless our righteousness exceeds the righteousness of these ,you will by no means enter the kingdom of God

The Born Again
understand God is a spirit and must be worshiped in spirit and truth no ours ,
If you have actually been buried in Christ and raised in Him image
you are born again ,and His spirit lives in you ,you are now a Christian
the Holy Spirit and Gods word will be your guide ,one will not conflict with the other ,,its Gods standard ,you will be in line with the prophets and Keep all the Law ,not to be saved ,your salvation came when you died and Christ became one in you ,you keep the Law and the Prophets as an outward sign of you love and obedience ,
but no one lives totally in the spirit ,we are still imperfect vessels only the spirit inside makes us the righteous of Christ ,so we still make mistakes ,fall short of the glory of God ,but when we repent that makes us whole and still one with Christ ,,but He will not dwell in a vessel that loves the World and continues to willfully break Gods law ,,
When God is first ,He will lead you to see the truth ,mysteries hidden in pain sight things a carnal mind wont comprehend,
He teach's He has used the simple things of the world to confuse the wise ,
a fool is wise in his or her own mind ,and will hate to be corrected ,sons of God know we do not know it all ,but with study ,most of our answers can be found in a spiritual text ,our more sure word of Prophecy ,the Inspired Word Of God
they who are lead by the spirit know only in part ,only has gifts for that calling ,many are called ,only a few are chosen ,we are many members of one body and only Christ is the head ,,none should think we know the mind of God ,His ways are not our ways ,but in every good work He gives us everything we need to finish the job
as you have been called so should you walk ,not seeking titles and the praise of me ,or the gifts of other's thou shall not covet
they who are lead by the Spirit of the Living God are Spiritual ,,
they are the Sons and Daughters of God
Jeremiah 33:3Amplified Bible (AMP)

3 ‘Call to Me and I will answer you, and tell you [and even show you] great and mighty things, [things which have been confined and hidden], which you do not know and understand and cannot distinguish.’

A spiritual person is often more open to other's beliefs

Spiritual is moving to a safe spot and acknowledging nature's forces when a storm strikes . Religious is being on your knees on the shores and praying for it to calm down.

@ragingfire: Well stated.
One follows a book

The other thinks they're smarter for believing in the idea of the book without knowing the pages in between.

A spiritual person is guided by a spirit or Spirit (Holy Spirit). A religious person is someone who is guided by church or denominational rules and principles.

A religious person might feel a little guilty stabbing you in the back. A spiritual person will pretend it never happened.

Following doctrine as opposed to feelings.

any generalisation is stupid.

Religious is a denomination or a traditional codified belief system.. Spiritual means you live in California now and you've been to a lot of yoga seminars.
