I would argue that a religion is a social system concerned with preserving behavioral norm and beliefs, whereas spirituality is an individuslistic effort oriented around growth. Clearly, thete is overlap.
What got me thinking about this wasvthe Amish. Their child rearing likely does involve breaking the children “for their own good”. You build a peaceful society, but not one in which growth is encouraged. Rather, conformity is required.
Couple analogies:
Religion is to spiritusluty as Statism is to Liberalism.
If Statism is “one size fits all” (the nerd in me must reference “one ring to bind them”) then Capitalism is “what do you want, and how can Ihelp you get it?”
Free markets create countless creative liaisonsss between producers and consumers. That is why they work.
