Why do people confuse religion & Spirituality?

Religion being created by the MIND of Man, in an attempt to capture something of the elusive invisibility of Spirituality. Religion is about physical attributes ritualized in a particular way to structure something a person can feel like he/she is in "control" of.... whereas Spirituality is the invisible result of a slow accumulation of the Virtues of Life by a Soul gradually completing Karma over lifetimes and lifetimes of numerous births and deaths on this physical plane.

Update:

Religion deals with what one can think about and see. Spirituality is the Core Energy of each human being and consists of vibrational energy that cannot be perceived by physical means. But, perhaps this is too Esoteric for some people to be interested in?

Therefore even after a billion lifetimes your still only going be at the start. For to be perfect you must start as perfect. Notice you have zero memory of any past life as you say you've had. Therefore how is it you have learned anything and improved by that. See the logic here. Simple logic great wisdom.

    once you pass exterior and seem up on the sky, seeing its splendor, you ought to end that it did not get there via itself. we are able to for sure see how complicated advent is and how it has layout. that is illogical to think of that the universe in simple terms got here into life without a reason. you won't be able to have an uncaused reason. once you seem at a portray, you at once understand that the portray became into painted via an artist. The portray did not paint itself, that is impossible. The universe had to get here by some ability. technology tells us that there became right into a commencing up of time and area. advent will not be able to create itself. something that became into not created and is eternal had to hold the universe into being. That something must be God. The clever clothier. God is eternal and not created, he's the alpha and the omega, the commencing up and the top. God is the sole logical answer. the great bang theory teaches that not something created each little thing, it is scientifically impossible. some people will do and say something as long as they don't ought to have self assurance in God. in case you need to any extent further questions approximately God or something, be at liberty to digital mail me.:). additionally, I strongly propose you study "not something Created each little thing" via Ray convenience. Its relatively stable and that i'm so happy I study it.

    For the same reason a square is a rectangle but a rectangle is not a square. A religion may contain spirituality but spirituality does not necessarily need to be religious.

    Because people are ignorant. They do not know the difference. They try to lump it all into one... the way they believe.... people who are religious are not smart people, they are wicket, believe in sepertism, bigotry, anger child molestation (it happens in all religions)... where the dad says he needs to screw his daugther cause GOD told him too.... duh! Religious people are ALL fanatics and crazy. I wouldn't hire one.
