Religion is just a set of values and rituals conforming to (usually) one vision of the Divine.
Originally posted by @christopher-albonI think that religion is a product of the spiritual nature of humans and their capacity for abstraction and speculation, and therefore it's an understandable manifestation of the spiritual dimension of the human condition.

Spiritual involves your human spirit, the "organ" within you that is created to contact God the Spirit.
It is best to know the real matter very well. By getting to know the real matter very well one can recognize more the counterfeit matter. In this case activity of devotion or reverence or piety or zeal or knowledge minus the exercise of the spirit "organ' to touch God - to contact the living God.

Originally posted by @kellyjay"Being born again" comes about when Christians tell themselves [and no doubt others, too] that they are "born again" and lasts as long as they continue to believe it.
I disagree being born again is a spiritual transformation by the divine nature of God due to God's promises about Jesus' work here.

In which case, to know the difference between a pickled herring and a tuna steak, does one need to be a fisherman?

I guess some Christians think that anything Spiritual is of God.
Originally posted by @ghost-of-a-dukeSee what I mean? To you it's nonsense because you're not born again. You think something is spiritual because it tickles your ears.
Nonsense.
