					<description><![CDATA[You can&#039;t separate spirituality from religion.  People have made religion into a certain narrow thing, made up of all the little things they don&#039;t like.  Then labeled all the things they do like &quot;spirituality.&quot;  But it&#039;s all one thing.  If you&#039;re religious, your spiritual, and if you&#039;re spiritual, you&#039;re religious.  It&#039;s just a question of how you go about it.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Perhaps it&#039;s an intentional exclusion from your discussion on this topic, but I see no mention (or contextually none, anyway) of &quot;spirituality.&quot;  I think a large part of the irreligious population could potentially be described as spiritual, even if unrealized by the individual.  Religion, as an opiate, is a turn-off to the world&#039;s critical-thinkers.  However, critical thinking doesn&#039;t necessarily address questions of spirituality, which may reside deep within our systems - undeterred by logical reasoning.  It is these people that I think find comfort in UU.  They&#039;re made up of both the religious and irreligious for a reason; spirituality is the common bond.

Incidentally, I&#039;m decidedly pagan in spirit, though not religious.]]></description>
