I don't hear either political party talking about either. Religion, IMO, is nothing more than an 'Everybody Gets a Trophy Day' version of spirituality. In religion, you don't have to make any real progress or development as a human being, you just have to follow a selected set of rules & regulations, and you're in the club. In fact, you don't really have to follow the rules as long as you don't get caught breaking them, and you're still in the club.
Religion, however, does have its roots in spirituality. But it gets developed by people who don't have the discipline or patience for spirituality, but would still like to engage in the mood-making aspect of 'feeling' like they're spiritual. seekliberation
