I certainly do detach "spiritual" from "religious" . I will not make any attempt to define "spiritual" as I should only be branded a pedant or worse.
For me - spiritual is something tangibly intangible within and without me
For me - religion is dogma, instruction, compulsory beliefs, do's and don'ts
They have nothing at all in common with each other. But that's just my take and nothing to do with dead Cherokees, Wakantaka, tableturning or the Pope. Please attach as many assorted smileys as you wish to avoid unintentional offence.
