but I am spiritual, as I can tell you are too. As God said to Neale Donald Walsch, “Religion cannot stand Spirituality. It cannot abide it. Spirituality may bring you to a different conclusion than a particular religion, and no known religion can tolerate this. Religion encourages you to explore the thoughts of others and accept them as your own. Spirituality invites you to toss away the thoughts of others and come up with your own.”

Seeking to build a bridge between atheists and theists, I came up with an alternate definition of spirituality that I hoped all could buy into.

"When I use the term spiritual, I use it in a manner that transcends the binary of theism versus atheism. One can act entirely spiritually with or without a belief in “god,” however one understands that term. Spirituality only requires love, empathy, compassion, humility, honesty, and courage."
