<br>Greg noted:
<br>
<br>  Over the years, when the subject of religion comes up in some
<br>  connection, students in my classes seem to make very decided
<br>  distinctions between "religious" and "spiritual." But each of them seems
<br>  to have made up a somewhat different version of the distinction....
<br>
<br>I have a very decided distinction between those two words. To me,
<br>"religious" connotes "institutional," while "spiritual" does not. I.e.,
<br>you are religious if you go to church, observe the practices of your
<br>religion, etc. You may be spiritual and not religious -- certainly you can
<br>be religious and not at all spiritual.
<br>
<br>So what other distinctions do your students make, Greg?
