Strictly my opinion, but I think that this distinction is spirituality in it's essence. I still believe that religion is something that man takes and puts in a "manageable" way to find God. Spirituality is something that we take inside and use in our day to day affairs to enhance our relationship with God. It is a benchmark on living the right way whereas the religion is something for life after death. This is through my own understanding of things, but I hope that people recognize the distinction and the main reason I reply like this is because for me spirituality is more of a necessity than religion.

Thanks for allowing me the opportunity to share and keeping spirituality in such a simple statement.
