[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So we're all in agreement then?  It's more socially acceptable these days to say you are "spiritual"?   I like to say I'm a "seeker."  That seems to satisfy everyone, and they usually don't try to pin me down on what I mean by that. :) [/quote]
OP here. Where are you seeing "agreement" in this post that using "spiritual" is about being socially acceptable? Certainly some people have suggested that, but plenty of others have said they see them as different things:
that being spiritual is personal, while being religious is communal; 
that spirituality is a belief in something bigger but undefined, while religion is formal and dogmatic;
that being religious is about valuing the framework and order of religion, while being spiritual is about belief in God/angels/spirits;
that spiritual is about the supernatural or New Age beliefs

[b]When you say you're a "seeker" what are you seeking?[/b][/quote]
