To me religion and spirituality are different. Religion is more concrete and has a defined set of beliefs. Spirituality is just going out somewhere and feeling the presence of a higher being. In my opinion, a person needs to have at least a little faith in a higher being in order to be spiritual. I can really relate to the whole spirituality idea. I am an Episcopalian and despite not believing everything that is taught I still feel as though I have a relationship with God. When I go out into nature I am able to experience the presence of a higher being that is not of this world. The beliefs of the South are definitely conservative. Most of the people of the South have strong ties to the church. This can be seen in the many dry counties that exist as well as the no sale of alcohol in the state of Georgia.
