Spiritual versus Religious

Here I am 54 years old and still learning!

I never read much in consideration of “spirituality”...
I find I’m not about Rumi
Or Shahram Shiva ...
Sure Rumi and followers made some beautiful poems, quotes and he inspires many. 
But so did:
Martin Luther King, Jr. A Christian minister
Who followed his Christian teachings and activism of Mahatma Ghandi 
Inspiring leaders have many different beliefs 
But nobody owns the copyright or exclusive on the one word they all preach “Love”
It’s in all inspirational leaders 
teachings  there’s no exclusive on it. 

So back to which the only difference is whether they believe in God and especially above themselves. 

Yes all leaders speak on love and we are all free not just Rumi...
Also
Biblical Scholars. 
Religious people such as 
Catholics believe in themselves too, they live of free will and believe in love and goodness and that they can do all things through Christ that strengthens them and in all that they do Christ does strengthen them. 
They are not perfect people, but neither are those who are spiritual. 
I could not sit in and follow this man (Shahram Shiva) spiritual speaking!
Because the one thing different is it makes God nothing and I can’t do that, I won’t do that...
so I suppose I’m religious versus spiritual. 😁
But I knew that. 
I believe we are a human being
with a soul, the soul is spiritual
on a deep level in the divine sense as is the Holy Spirit ...and will live on forever. 
When this body has died.

In life you don’t need to  subscribe to things you don’t believe. 
“open-mind” came from those trying to teach unconventional things! Such as there is no God
and while they are good teachers in many things they are not right for everyone. 
Most people are good. 
They don’t have to subscribe to your beliefs... in other words they don’t need to open their mind that way... nor should they.
They can still love you even if you believe differently that’s the teaching of all good leaders!
