Spirituality has a couple of different meanings. One involves non-material beings, in which I don't believe. The other simply expresses an amazement with the universe around us and ways to learn how to love and help others. This I strongly believe in. Since many religions ask and try to answer the second type of question, I have found it useful to look at the answers they have come up with to see if I can use them in my life. Not all of the answers require belief in a deity. Also, given the number of religios people around, it is important (to me) to understand the various religions so I can relate better to those I share this planet with. When I disgree, I *try* to do so politely unless impoliteness started somewhere else.
