James 1:27 Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world. How can a person be spiritual without chosing either the LORD or the devil?

Religion is set i think, like a system of beliefs, something you relate to understand and seek security in. A firm foundation, not unstable like much of The Worlds systems and ideas. Its when we try to do without Jesus (The Chief CornerStone) the Bible calls him that we find ourselves FLOATING IN MID-AIR. Unstable, like a Leaf being swept up by the Wind. Not a nice journey... I AM A HUMAN BEING, i prefer it on TERRA FIRMA. My Feet on the Ground with Jesus as my Guide. Awake and Aware, far from the Land of D-e-n-i-a-l.

I used to think that way as well. I went to church and believed in what a religion told me for a long while but over time, I felt as if all the questions I still had about God and life and the purpose of us really being born at all, simply were not answered by just believing. So I next thought perhaps that if I sought after some sort of spirituality pursuit then surely I would be able to come up with solutions to my problem of not being able to feel this God I still wanted to believe in, but had no real sense of from the very beginning. Again, I came to a dead end because this time instead of just trusting what others told me was true, I was free to imagine for myself the reality of our existence and the presence of God. But this also, after time, left me still feeling very empty and disillusioned. I finally found what I was searching for after traveling so many roads trying to get somewhere I could not even explain my desire to find. What I discovered was a place, a method, that allows me to find my own answers based on proving for myself, the validity of God and my relationship to both Him and this world. I linked a really neat video that describes the difference between a religious or belief idea , and our actual ability to find spirituality for ourselves. It answered so many things for me personally. Good luck and thanks for a really cool question. I think for some people, there is no difference. I used to think that way as well.

Hinduism is not a religion but its a way of living life that leads to spiritual elevation. By following the principles of Hinduism i proceed in my spiritual journey.
