What is religion for you?

[Bunwahaha [still dunno why, but well, so be it]]

Hello

Well, I think that by the epoch it is a good question...

Here's a synthetic answer that I did in an other thread and that I would put here again:

Religion is the fact that some peoples practice the same spirituality, that they tie their way of life by this one. And I see the spirituality as something which ties the most basic realities to the deepest questions of the Man. Spirituality, when it is well practiced, is a way to the lucidity, to the balance of the mind, to a good construction of the reality. That's anyway how I see things.

What would be your answer to this question?

Thanks

Isn't a belief in nothing at death a fairly grim way, overall, to look at life?

A great quote I saw on another forum, "Church isn't a collection of saints, it's a hospital for souls."

Spiritual ways are here in part here to give a place to the death in the human being and in its environment  but not necessarily to say that there is something after death which would concern what you call the "soul".

The "soul" is a spiritual interpretation, nothing less, nothing more and to me the fact that I won't speak of "soul" and of a life for a "soul" after death doesn't rob the human being of its duty of dignity toward itself, of the value of its life and of the requirements it must have toward itself concerning its behavior in its environment. So much things which are very important for humans and which make exists spiritual ways...
