Spirituality often times just refers to the religious that prefer to not associate themselves with any specific religious organization....wether it be Buddhism, Catholicism (which is the oldest form of Christianity, so all denominations fall under it as far as I'm concerned), paganism, pretty much anything else. It still requires faith in something that can not be proven. The "proof" often spoken about by the spiritual is often more so a personal "feeling" that can be described as being any large number of things, being that it can not be proven.
People often forget "religion" just means "belief"...the word doesn't apply to just so called "organized religion". The "spiritual" that choose to not associate themselves with whatever given organized religion (for whatever reason) are just opting to follow their own beliefs on the subject matter...but still, it all falls under the same thing and there's no real way around it. Believing, having faith, in that of which can't be proven has no place in my life...I have no real issues w/ those of any faith, as long as they can keep it where it belongs...which is not in science, politics, etc. Most fail at this.
****And YES, I am saying that if you claim to be spiritual you are still religious. You don't have to be a Baptist in order to be religious.
