3. Are you religious or spiritual?
I think of myself as a stoic plodder and am probably more agnostic than either atheist or religious. I am not fond of sterotypes, but I would say I am spiritual - however, I would argue that can't people be a bit of both? The question infers you can have either/or rather than both. Some get hung up on doctrines, concentrating on judgment or hatred, rather than the messages of love behind it. I was brought up in a Christian Spiritualist family, which changed more towards the New Age movement in the mid/late seventies. For a while, I followed that path. I concede that there were some very salient points, but at times, it was just plain flaky. In my mature adult life, I have largely left that side of my life behind, but I keep an open mind.
