Spirituality is connecting to the Divine through your own personal experience. It is primarily concerned with finding, experiencing, and embodying one’s true spiritual nature.

Religion is connecting to the Divine through someone else’s experience. It is primarily concerned with believing in, following, and obeying the rules created by a certain Deity or Spiritual teacher. Historian and philosopher, Yuval Noah Harari explains the contrast between spirituality vs. religion:

Religion is a deal, whereas spirituality is a journey. Religion gives a complete description of the world, and offers us a well-defined contract with predetermined goals. "God exists. He told us to behave in certain ways. If you obey God, you will be admitted to heaven. If you disobey Him, you will burn in hell." The very clarity of this deal allows society to define common norms and values that regulate human behavior.

Spiritual journeys are nothing like that. They usually take people in mysterious ways towards unknown destinations. The quest usually begins with some big question, such as who am I? What is the meaning of life? What is good? Whereas many people just accept the ready-made answers provided by the powers that be, spiritual seekers are not so easily satisfied. They are determined to follow the big question wherever it leads, and not jut to places you know well or wish to visit.
