how would you differentiate between words religious and spiritual???

i believe only in the power that made humans that may be either religious gods or spirituals so i say that people dont worry about to which religion u belong to but take care that the world is cool and calm

To me, religious is just that. You go to your place of worship, congregate with fellow religious people, and go home without thinking about it again untill it's time to go the next time. Spiritual however, is actually FEELING the relationship with God, actually TRYING to have a relationship with him and loving him and having faith, and letting his love for you overflow unto the people around you and sharing your faith and happiness with everyone! It's having a relationship that's truly something else!

For me, I use the terms pretty much interchangeably. My religious beliefs are my spiritual beliefs. I understand that others separate the two, but I don't.

Religion is spirituality set to the rhythm of set forms and rituals. The issue with forms and rituals is when they become the point, rather than the original spiritual impulse from which they arose.
