Religion vs Spirituality

Physicians give a variety of answers, emphasizing the misunderstandings we have for each other’s spirituality. Many of the answers will describe spirituality as religion. This answer is the springboard for you to differentiate between spirituality and religion. One is tempted to launch a monologue as soon as one of the participants triggers this idea. Delay until all of the participants have spoken. For the physician champion these are useful definitions of religion and spirituality: Religion is a system of belief, worship, conduct, doctrine and governance to which a group of people adhere. Spirituality is that which gives meaning and purpose to life. In other words, spirituality is not so much something you achieve or a set of rules. It is something you are.
