Religion and spirituality share many similarities, which leads to their confusion as the same thing. In Europe, they use the term Ietsism, which simply means spiritual but not religious. This blog takes a look at what contributes to your relationship with God.
Spirituality is a solitary relationship with the divine, whereas religion involves a group of individuals united by their shared faith or views about the divine. Dr. Delbert Blair points out the difference between spirituality and religion. He says most people require devotion to religion and continuous reminders because they lack the envisioned soul, which allows them to manifest the creator within them, and further emphasizes that it is not a must for a man to go to church because he is the church.
Most people attend religious services, such as church, due to cultural or familial expectations rather than deep personal belief in God. The man in this video explains how going to church does not necessarily mean you believe in God. He further states that God is bigger than religion. Religion is for shaping individuals' behavior and providing a moral compass.
