Religion repeatedly emphasizes belief and practices (most clearly in "the practice of religious beliefs; ritual observance of faith."). Spirituality on the other hand only emphasizes belief.
Your own understanding of the meaning of words may differ substantially from their real scope based on the limited context you've experienced them in.
Since you suggested it, 1: a set of beliefs concerning the cause, nature, and purpose of the universe, esp. when considered as the creation of a superhuman agency or agencies, usually involving devotional and ritual observances, and often containing a moral code governing the conduct of human affairs.
USUALLY.... OFTEN....
The funny thing with semantics, since theres so many interpretations and meanings, theres no way to win or lose. That is why i said i didnt want to argue semantics, its a waste of time. But you always insist on arguing those types of subjects, since they're much easier for you to look up before posting. And do you really have to insult someones intelligence or knowledge every time you post, thinking your right. EGO (not the Freudian definition of ego).
