I think this articulates my feelings about religion as well as any I have read/heard so far!
"Religion is orthodoxy, rules and historical scriptures maintained by people over long periods of time. Generally people are raised to obey the customs and practices of that religion without question. These are customs and expectations from outside the person and do not fit my definition of spiritual." - Wayne Dyer, Author, Lecturer & Self-help advocate.
As the same author says in one of his books, it would be better if people tried not to be Christian, but more Christ-like; not to be Buddhist, but more Buddha-like!
Ah, well, not so easy is it, for most?
