It is essential to make a distinction between the terms spirituality and religion, as the two are not exactly the same thing. Of course, spirituality is an important aspect of religious faith in most of the world's big religions, but it is, however, not something that necessarily belongs to religion only. Indeed, some parts of a religion and the practices it brings can be said to have nothing to do with spirituality at all, even if it has a devotional aspect attached to it. The rise of humanism and even psychology offers explanations of the desire for greater spirituality among people even when religious faith is not present, so it is common to want to become more spiritual without the attachment to a religious belief.
