Yeah, I think we're both using the word religion in slightly different contexts.

For me, spirituality is something way different than religion. Religion does not have to be spiritual, and spirituality does not have to be religious.

I'm using the word religion in its original sense, involving ritual and a sense of orthodoxy.
