Hoi poli or should I call you kid. Eternal that is one difficult question maybe the definition is the best. Eternal Without beginning or end of existence; always existing. Definitions are a good place to start. Spirituality is a very difficult at best so common definitions are very important.
Religious people for the most part are very good. Most trying to live sincere lives. And in accordance to traditional beliefs. Some of which can be very interesting. From what I have seen of Hindu festivals they could be very interesting and fun. All I can really say is enjoy .. I don't think taking part requires belief. If you are looking to find spirituality a good starting point is your native beliefs. There you strive to understand. You actually have a lot of support. The faith of a child is a beautiful sight to behold. Being religious as a child does not exclude theism. A sound belief in a personal God is what theism is about. My Dad was raised without beliefs and became R Catholic after he met my mother. His religious beliefs lasted and guided his entire lifetime. He was 94 at the time of his transition. His spiruality was really amazing. I was proud of my Dad and his beliefs. In hard times they were a guiding light.. I always knew he believed and that is a lot. Don't count out rituals. They can help you focus and get you out of the self that traps you. You will find over time therevae some amazing similarities among beliefs.

For us humans.. Thats another difficult topic... Are some people just religious? I mean is it their nature... See children are very religious..ive seen that everywhere... I was a religious kid... But then.. I just grew out of it... I know my sister was religious.. I cant say if she still is... Who has stayed religious into their adulthood.. I would like to know... My mother is one.. But im not counting her... My father has become religious... Rituals and all.. Now that he is feeling his age or something.. Thats what i think at least.. I never thought he would turn out to be religious.... What is it really?.... That explains it... Or.. Don't you think it's difficult to raise a child without the idea of God? Is it? I don't know...
