Spirituality and religion are often confused with each other, but they have distinct meanings.

**Religion** refers to a specific set of beliefs, practices, and rituals around a particular faith or doctrine, with rules, dogmas, and scriptures guiding behavior and beliefs. Examples of religions include Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, and Buddhism.

**Spirituality**, on the other hand, is more individualistic and personal, focusing on a broader range of experiences and practices that connect an individual to a higher power, the universe, or transcendence. Spirituality is characterized by subjective experiences, inner connection, non-dogmatic views, and practices like meditation and self-reflection. While many people practice both religion and spirituality, others may identify as spiritual but not religious or vice versa. I hope this helps to clarify.. 😁
