I understood the basic concept of spirituality as a hodge podge Frankenstein of several religious elements but what I'm guiding howaminotmyself to see is that "spirituality" is just another word for religion.
It has beliefs, makes distinctions between what's right and wrong, does it's best to provide happiness for it's followers, and is accepted on the basis of faith.
So since the two are the same, making the claim that spirituality is "holier" than religion is basically sticking your nose at people saying "My religion can beat up your religion".
Is it normal to feel this way about religion??
