What is the difference between religiosity and spirituality?

What will be an ideal response?


Religiosity (religiousness) refers to religious involvement, sharing the attitudes and beliefs of a religion, and participating in practices such as attending services or praying. Although religion and spirituality are often used interchangeably, spirituality is a search for meaning beyond the self. It may or may not involve a higher being or some other entity, such as nature, or the search for ways to benefit others and society. An individual may be both spiritual and religious, either, or neither.
