I class myself as "spiritual", but not "religious".
For me, I believe I am "a part of the Whole". Some people call the Whole, "God". Some people say to be a part of the Whole is the same as "Ashes to ashes, dust to dust...". For me, organized religion puts what I sense to Be in too small a box...so I dismiss religion for myself. That is not to say that I do not see the beauty in a great many of the religious teachings; I do. I simply prefer to not box it in. Just my way of processing that works for me.
