FOLYKAZE:


Yoruba tradition spiritualism is not a religion. Just like spirituality is never and cannot be a religion. So how can you say I am promoting a religion? Have you heard this connation "being spiritual but not religion"? That should give you a hint about the difference between religion and spirituality.

And on the othernote, I am a spiritual atheist. Atheism is not an organised instution, has no basic law, guides, philosphy, doctirnes or followership. So how can atheism be a religion?

Religion cause a lot of division in human society. Religion set boundaries for those in and outside the institution. That is we why fellow human hate themselves. That is why christian hate muslim. That is why quran ordain muslims to kill jew and christians. That is why Muslims attack everyone in the world. They is why we dont respect people who do not share out belief. That is why we don not allow adults from different faith to mingle or marry. Religion breeds hatred. That cannot be said about spiritualism that sees the world and everything inside as one.

A spiritualist does not care about the sect you belong to. Ogun worshipper serve Sango today and tomorrow eat with Obatala believer. We are need oursleves to keep human race alive.

A Babalawo does not care if you are marrying a Monk or Catholic Priest. He does not feel concern if your husband is a white or blue in skin. They sometime choose concern in family but outside that, you can marry even a beast. It is no one business but yours.

Religion gives you your guiding principles for life. So everybody has religion but not every1 has a conscious formal organized religion with its body of scriptures and tenets. You cannot divorce religion from life.
Religion explains life,what it is about, and the after life.

If somebody hurts you what do you do? Religion answers this.
If i'm worried what do I do? Religion answers.
what happens after i die?
Why do people die? Religion answers these.

Moral, spirituality, religion are all different ... Man creates religion for himself, moral is base on reasoning .. Religion is doing what u are told even if its not right , moral is doing what is right even if you Are not told... So you can confuse my moral sense to being religious unconciously
