One of the questions in my course this week was "Is spirituality different from religion and if so how?"
My answer is yes. To me religion is more like a practice, or set of practices. It has specific rules, rituals and it's own hierarchy. Spirituality on the other hand is more of a relationship.
To put it another way, spirituality is like breathing. Religion might define how, when and where I breathe but it is spirituality that is the breath.
How do you define spirituality and religion? Are they one and the same for you?
