Religion is a specific set of organized beliefs and practices, usually shared by a community or group. Spirituality is more of an individual practice and has to do with having a sense of peace and purpose. It also relates to the process of developing beliefs around the meaning of life and connection with others. A major difference between religion and spirituality is Believing versus Being. Religion emphasizes the content of followers' beliefs and how those beliefs play out in their everyday lives. On the other hand, the focus of spirituality is on the process of becoming attuned to one's inner self.
“God is a presence that's never in absence. This presence is everywhere, so, you would never pray for God to come here, because the presence of God is infinite.”
