Spirituality is not Religion, so if you are an atheist and consider yourself spiritual, please tell me your views on it. NOT to argue, just wondering your opinion.

Well, I’m a Buddhist, and we have no concept of god. We generally seek enlightenment from within.
What is Spirituality?
The quest for meaning and purpose is central to human existence. This search for meaning launches us on a journey in which all aspects of life – joys, sorrows, struggles, and successes – can become avenues to deeper understanding and purpose. Everything experienced along the journey plays a part in forming and fashioning our lives. Spirituality is the belief system of a person lived in relationship with the transcendent. A person’s spirituality may or may not incorporate the rituals, practices, and beliefs of a particular religious group however institutionalized religion does provide the setting in which personal spirituality is expressed and developed by billions of people around the world. Religion acknowledges both the communal dimension of spirituality and the place of tradition in the spiritual journey. It provides a connection to the wisdom and richness of the spiritual experiences of those who have gone before. Religion enables the tradition to come alive within experience and it calls the faith community to apply the tradition to the needs and hopes of the present.
What is Spiritual Care?
The search for meaning and purpose that defines our spirituality can sometimes feel like a solitary journey. Choosing to share this journey with others enables us to face emotions, limitations, and hopefully find a place for healing and growth. Spiritual care is intended to support spiritual well being. It involves attentive listening and assistance in finding resources that may nurture spiritual health. It may involve:
§seeking out leaders of various religious traditions to provide sacramental and ritual ministry
§worship and prayer.
To me spirituality is your faith in God. If you don’t have faith in God, then your not going to go to heaven and live for eternity with anyone you know who makes it with you.
