    Religion and Spirituality


    Religion
    - Etymologically is defined as coming from the Latin word, “religare” or which means “to bind” or “to tie.”
    - It is the opium of the people. it means we become so dependent with God that we rely everything to him
    and we undermine our capabilities as human beings.

    ● Popular views holds that you should become a member of a religious organization to cultivate your
    spiritual life. Their views lead to the misunderstanding between Religion and Spirituality. The question is:
    Is religion the same as spirituality? can you become a spiritual person without being a member of a
    religious organization? What is the difference between being religious and being spiritual?

    experience.”

    values?
