Spirituality is belief in supernaturual powers, much as in religion. Whilst what is referred to as "religion" and what is referred to as "spirituality" are largely identical, the term "spirituality" carries with it connotations of being more personal, less dogmatic, more open to new ideas and myriad influences, and being more pluralistic, than the term "religion". Those given to describing of their spiritual beliefs in terms of "spirituality" rather than "religion" are apt to believe that there are many "spirtual paths" and that there is no objective truth about which is the best path to follow.
