Going to get some hate here.
But religion is the corruption of spirituality.
Religion is man made. Forced views.
Spirituality is natural; as natural as breathing.

No hate at all, and many religious people would agree with you: they often term it as religious leaders becoming “worldly”, or corrupt.
But if you extend charity to both the large global religions and the storefront churches, you might see that it’s an uphill battle to work with, define, and spread the fruit of spirituality without corrupting it.
Studying the first 2 chapters of Genesis, and the 4 Noble Truths, a worldview has emerged for me that of course it’s corrupt, given humans’ fundamental nature.
To believe otherwise is to open myself up to the psyop of Keynesian, Utopian, New Age, Brave New World, and Freudian belief systems that have been relentlessly promoted for the past 250 years.
I kinda agree, tho religion often has some good trades aswell: community and charity to name a couple. I'm not part of any religious group myself, I separated myself from the church few years back... But I really like how the church near me funds and provides a place for girl scouts.
But yeah, there was a reason why I abandoned the church for myself. It just didn't match my idea of spiritualism or self growth.
