Confirming your well articulated point.

Religion is organized and anything of man can be organized. Spirituality is of G-d and G-d cannot be organized. Religion can be defined, classifed and is exclusive. G-d cannot be defined, classified and is inclusive to all who wish to be included. I find it ironic that the two religions from which all religions spring forth are so exclusive. Sure, people want to hold on to tradition and that is wonderful but how much more wonderful would it be to have others celebrate the traditions to the same G-d that we all seem to be serving? I think we get carried away in our attempts to guide the world to what G-d wants, when truth be told, we are but poor imitations of the image we were created in. IMHO you cannot be religious and be Christlike and if you are spiritual, you struggle to be Christlike because we are not conditioned to endure what it takes to truly be Christlike. Spirituality involves feeling, meaning, emotion. Religion involves identification. The Spirit is comfortable, Religion is conforming.
