From the beginning of time, the cosmos had only one small point but it expands so long that it creates a planet named Earth. Earth has been around in the Universe from billion years and our world has seen many creatures roaming the planet but many could not survive or become intelligent enough to build something big.
But, one day a species of homo came named Homo Sapience. This Homo Sapience is none other than Human. Our species has evolved into an intellectual being that it started to create the meaning of life. Humans first build families that consists of father, mother and children then it creates a civilization. In ancient world, there was many tribes but some tribes becomes intellectual enough to create rituals among them, certain rules, dogmas regarding the incidents happen in the world or around them both physically and psychologically. They gazes the stars and made some findings with it that later known as Astrology.
Some rituals are becomes part of their lifestyle which becomes their cultural norms. It gives birth to what we call religion.
But, the people who saw the future or become so obsessed with optimism or pessimism associate with it that they started to feel that they may have to sacrifice the traditional life for it. It is one way called Philosophy that defines the term Spirituality.
Now question is are Spirituality and Religion same or it differs?

The Core Differences: Understanding the "Internal vs. External" Divide -
There are many similarities between Religion and Spirituality but there is a vital difference between this 2 concepts.
That difference is " The Internal Bliss (Spirituality) and The External conflict (Religion).
Spirituality is what we explore inside us before explaining it to the people around us. The more clear and concise is the thoughts inside our internal world will have bigger positive impacts around us.
Religion is a certain set of rules or dogma in a form of rituals that may turn people into a mere resemblance of self righteousness. You can see almost all the wars or extremism around the world caused by religious differences like racism, caste based discrimination, class based discrimination, gender discrimination,etc.
Many modern religions are also operating in same way like Communism, Liberalism, Feminism;etc are also have self righteousness.
You want to do something else as per your goal but your family disrupting because they have other plan. So, according to religious morality, you should listen to parents. This thought has devoured many bright talents over the years but those who have explored their internal world took the decision to go against this norms and calmly chooses to walk up on their way. They succeeded but many don't because the morals of religion.
Many parents use this moral terms to direct their children into the path what they could have done if they were not so religiously centered.
Some rituals have no scientific value yet we perform to satisfy our self righteousness that directed by our faithful religion which we consider superior to others. Are not we?
I would suggest people to focus on your internal world and explore it with honesty. Find the mistakes or problems in your thought and reshape it with your findings. You can properly do it with meditation and gratitude practice. No matter which God you have faith in but you do it for him.
