What's the difference between religion and spirituality?

Religion is what you do socially with other people. Cathechism. Bible study. Group worship. Sacraments.

Spirituality is what you do alone. Can include all the things one does in a group. Just alone. Sometimes spirituality can involve small groups of intimate friends.

This is why the religious people hate the spiritual people.

@CopperCicada Religious people do not hate Spiritual people lol
Some people disagree with the beliefs of others but some religions people are in fact very spiritual.
@REMsleep My experience would say otherwise. Not participating in a formal social expression of religion makes one suspect by those who do.

@CopperCicada Well my issue is that you have made this a blanket statement. Many many people claim to follow a particular religion but they do so in name only, perhaps it is these that you speak of.
Others may follow a religion but you aren't aware of them because they don't bother you. I'm just saying its not cool to blanket all people who follow a religion together as though they are all similar.
@REMsleep You are right. My apology, I stand corrected.
