We are going to have a Debate at school with the quote "Spiritual but not religious" as an argument. There will be two groups; one that agrees and one that disagrees. I am with the one who agrees.
Any debaters in here to test with this topic?
Being "spiritual, but not religious" is, in fact, a real thing because other people tend to connect with their subconscious than talking to a superior being.
Religion can be thought of as spirituality with proscribed dogma
Can they exist, as in people who worship an ambiguous higher power? Sure...
But are they aligned with the truth? Could one have a concept of God as being within oneself and also has gone undiscovered? Is it not likely that out of the world religions that one of these have stumbled upon the truth by now?

These are, indeed, not rational facts, that spirituality does not contemplate with religion.

Depends. The school is Catholic, so it has to be debated on.

You can still be spiritual without religion. You can find spirituality through something you love like aesthetics or exercise.
