Religion and spirituality are most assuredly not the same thing, as you duly noted.
WIkipedia: Modern scholars such as Tom Harpur and Joseph Campbell favor the derivation from ligo "bind, connect", probably from a prefixed re-ligare, i.e. re- (again) + ligare or "to reconnect,"
I define the ultimate religion as the process of "re-connecting" with Original Nature, which is spirituality. However, it is not uncommon for religions to fall far short of the mark. That is why, in my initial post, I equated spirituality with the "perfection of religion" in which one re-connects with Original Nature.
We are essentially in agreement.
