Spirituality vs Religion vs Faith

in spirituality •  7 years ago 
Okay so what are the pros and cons of Spirituality vs Religion vs Faith? Many people will have their own thoughts, ideas and opinions about each belief. But for me Spirituality, Religion and Faith are three very separate and distinct ideologies. I have personally lived and experienced all three belief systems during different stages of my life.

Religion is THE MOST oppressive and authoritarian of the three, encouraging believers to fear the all mighty and to never question or doubt its teachings. To look down on those who do not accept or share the same beliefs, for they are forsaken and doomed to burn in hell for all eternity.

Faith is believing that there is something much greater than humans out there, and that this mysterious source energy is our maker/creator. Faith believers do not identify or associate themselves with or subscribe to any religious dogma.

Spiritualists do not simply believe or have faith that there is a God, but rather KNOW within their mind, body and soul that God exists and is divine loving energy, and that all living things derive from and are a part of this energy. All lifeforms are consciousness, and we are all a part of the whole (God). We are not and can never be separated from its divine love. Simply put we are spirit beings having a human experience. Everything in the universe is energy, frequency, and vibration.
