Religion and spirituality are two very different things. Many people understand that, but some do not. Everyone has his or her own definition to both, but to me spirituality is a relationship you have with a higher power of your understanding. Religion is what you subscribe to such as Catholic, or Church of Christ, etc. Can one have spirituality without religion? Here again, all people are different. Some people will say yes, because they can pray to a higher power without any ties to religion. Other’s perhaps will say no, because if you don’t have a religion, perhaps there is no higher power that will listen. Can one have religion without spirituality? I am quite sure there are many people sitting in church every Sunday claiming a religion, that have no clue what spirituality is.
What makes more since to you? Spirituality without religion, or religion without spirituality, do they co -exist? Can they be independent? Alternatively, can one not exist without the other? Does any of this matter? Many people put too much thought into life after death and what happens, and if God exists or not. If there is nothing, well, nothing matters and we won’t know anything anyway. If there is something, that will be great. If we believe then rewards are in order, and if there is nothing, well, there is nothing to lose. Living as though there is a higher power is just a good way to live anyway, so why not believe, either way there is nothing to lose. ----Keith
