From the children abuses of catholic priests to Islamic fanatics have not leave any room for religious craps for almost most of us. Whoever I talk with they know there is something more but don’t know what that is? Spirituality that’s what religions grasp from ordinary people, but their time is over.
Secular spirituality, as a cultural phenomenon, refers to the adherence to a spiritual ideology without the advocation of a religious framework. Secular spirituality in principle might embrace many of the same types of practices as religious spirituality, but the motivation is different. Clearly, since beliefs are radically different from those found in most religious spiritual traditions, the emphasis are likely to be on practice rather than belief and on the inner peace of the individual rather than on a relationship with the divine. Proponents make a case for a form of secular spirituality in which the motivation is simply to live happily and/or to help others, which demonstrates how such a motivation can lead to a spiritual life based on the development of qualities very like those prized by many religions but in their own way.
There is a difference between celebrating Earth, Nature, Life and obeying some God that others made for us to be afraid of. Let me tell you, there is nothing to be afraid of.
