Organized belief in spirituality - that's what a religion is.

I don't know - I'm not sure about anything as far as religion and spirituality go.

I'm not religious. I was as a child, and like lots of people, I suppose, rapidly became very disillusioned with the whole thing. I also feel that organised religion has caused far more problems than it has solved.

Spirituality was the main issue. Connection with God was the main issue.

Organized religion is a sham and a crutch for weak-minded people who need strength in numbers. It tells people to go out and stick their noses in other people's business.

I just think religion is something... It could be a beautiful thing for the individual, but when it becomes organized, that's when religion starts taking a kind of ugly turn to me.

My biggest problem with organized religion is that God has been imagined as a human being with emotions. I feel if you let go of that, then it's possible to see God as a force, to connect to him or her spiritually.

I see no way out of the problems that organized religion and tribalism create other than humans just becoming more honest and fully aware of themselves.

To me, religion is an agreement between a group of people about what God is. Spirituality is a one-on-one relationship.
