I keep wondering why people keep confusing spirituality with religion.

This forum is about spirituality and the first post is: There is only one god...
In christianity yes, in hinduisme no, in paganisme, much older than this very young religion christianity there are many many gods and who would dare to say our ancestors were non-spiritual beings?

Spirituality existed long before mankind and long before religion.

Claiming spirituality exclusively as part of a religion is like the game of Monopoly:
If you win you are the last one at the table, rich but lonely.

Nonetheless: There can be spirituality in religion too although, considering the often showed intolerance by religious people...

I wonder, yes I wonder...
