I believe that religion is for people that are afraid to go to "hell" and that spirituality is for people that have been there.
Religion is not a quest for "truth" it is a quest away from "truth". The reason being is that "truth" itself is non existent outside the human mind. Man creates the methods to pursue truth as they first define it. In other words, whenever one asks a question he/she already has the answer. The only thing lacking, is the method to arrive at that particular truth.
An example of this is the often quoted phrase "they're always the last to know" when it comes to a person finding out that there loved one is "messing around" on them.
Have a great day,Gil.
