Religion vs. Spirituality: What's your personal compass?

Is there something specific you look out for when choosing a religion or spirituality that fits you? For me, it always comes down to where I find peace, truth, and transparency.

In my experience, religion often felt like a forced doctrine, something that came with hidden motives attached. But spirituality is different. I discovered it more recently, and to me it feels like something inbuilt, rooted in our surroundings and environment rather than imposed from outside. It's not forced, it's inborn, something you grow into on your own through research, questions, and practice.

Curious to hear how others think about this. What's guided your own journey?

I understand where you are coming from re spirituality , I was brought up in the faith but I've never felt forced, not once, I can feel it in my heart and I want people to see it through my actions of love, mercy and kindness . Religion and spirituality are intertwined for me 💛
