Let's talk about Spiritual and Religious and Which is better.
Spiritual:
Spirituality
involves the recognition of a feeling or sense or belief that there is
something greater than myself, something more to being human than
sensory experience, and that the greater whole of which we are part is
cosmic or divine in nature.
Religious :
Religious means belonging to an established religious order, whether large or small. This includes religions with billions of followings such a Christianity, Hinduism and Buddhism. And those with much smaller group of followers such as Bahaism, Zoroastrianism and Judaism.
Difference between Spirituality and Religious:
Spirituality:
- Spirituality extends to all facets of a person's life. Spirituality is chosen while religion is often times forced.
- Spirituality is defined by God.
- Spirituality is something that is found deep within oneself. It is your way of loving, accepting and relating to the world and people around you. It cannot be found in a church or by believing in a certain way.
- From a spiritual perspective, no one has a monopoly on the truth. All are welcome in God’s eyes.
Religious:
- Religion is an institution established by man for various reasons.
- Religion can be anything that the person practicing it desires.
- Traditional religious beliefs, sometimes based upon rigid interpretations of key teachings, can create an exclusive worldview that isolates those who may not share their views or interpretations.
