Do you consider that you are spiritual or religious - or is it all the same to you?

Often, "religion" refers to more of an organized affiliation, such as a member of a church, whereas spirituality refers to a more personal experience, which may or may not fit within an organized religion. Both religion, and spirituality, can involve belief in a deity, spiritual or mystical experiences, rituals, as well as value systems and beliefs about morality and ethics,etc. These things alone are not necessarily religious or spiritual; they can be both.

I have my beliefs
But do not feel that is my right or need to convince others that they are wrong/I am right
Spiritual is an ability to realate to everything around you from your own inner being.
Religious is to subscribe to any one of the 1000's of different religious organizations and their dogma, doctrines and beliefs.

I recall a bible story about a very devote christian who was traveling to the city to destruy non christians when god apeared to him and told him it was not about what men wanted it was about what god wanted he told the man to have vision to have "chazown".
I also recall when some missionaries came to my door and I said I had no interest in their ministeries becasue my faith wasn't derived from any religion and they told me that I should understand that THEIR god was infanent while my god was finite. I replied that they had that backwards as I was not capable of laying claim to the god in charge of my life. I belonged to the creator teh creator did not belong to me he was to great t be claimed by anyone while theirs was clearly not so great as to be owned by man.
THey didn't like that....
