Compare and contrast spirituality and religion.

What will be an ideal response?


Spirituality is a process of human life and development focusing on the search for a sense of meaning, purpose, morality, and well-being; in relationship with oneself, other people, other beings, the universe, and ultimate reality, however understood; orienting around centrally significant priorities; and engaging a sense of transcendence (experienced as deeply profound, sacred, or transpersonal). Religion is an institutionalized pattern of values, beliefs, symbols, rites, and behaviors that involves spirituality, a community of adherents, transmission of traditions over time, and community support functions. Spirituality is often seen as very individual while religion carries with it a sense of group belonging and identity.
