[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]question remains: why are people saying they're spiritual and avoiding saying they're religious?[/quote]

[b]I think this belongs in a new thread[/b]. [/quote]

I think you're right.  I just noticed here how many said they were spiritual, presumably to avoid saying they are "religious," but it is a different thread. [/quote]

[b]Troll. Nobody said “I am spiritual.[/b]” [/quote]

? several posters above said they went back to church because they were spiritual. [/quote]

01/27/2022 12:49 Me talking about finding a religious community (in my case a synagogue) that is spiritually meaningful.

Those are the only three mentions of spirituality before your comment about how people were using spiritual instead of religious. While it's certainly an interesting question, it's just not the case in this post. We were talking about being religious and going to church/synagogue. In no way has anyone hidden the "religious" in favor of the "spiritual" here as you're claiming.

The only possibly thing you could be referencing in this post is this:
01/25/2022 10:08 "I’ve seen several recent posts by people who said they used to be atheists and had recently returned to synagogue or church for spiritual reasons, but they obviously aren’t posting on this thread."
But here, the poster was referring to other past posts, not anyone in this specific post. You could try to go find those people in those other posts who may or may not have specifically talked only about being spiritual, not religious, to ask them your question. Or maybe those other posts are also about "spiritual meaning" within a religious community. Happy hunting to you.[/quote]
