This is for my Atheist friends:

Atheism is NOT a religion. Neither is Theism. They are concepts, not religions. A relgiions can be theistic or atheistic or something in between.

And for my Spiritual friends:

The way I see it, this is the difference between religion and spirituality:

Spirituality- a search for or connection with nature, spirit or the Divine that is personal and allows for an individually developed perspective of reality.

Religion- a social institution that dictates order, rules, and a specific interpretation of reality.

Of course, that's a generalisation () and just my take on things.

I know, I can't help it! Once I find a word that perfectly describes something where all else fails, I can't let go!

If it's any consolation, I would not know there was any such thing as apophatic mysticism if a friend of mine wasn't writing a book on it.

If you can fine...
What is your obsession with naming one? What is the relevance? Does the fact that I can't show you a blue horse mean that the existence of a blue horse is impossible? Not last time I checked. What we're discussing here is whether or not a term can be used a certain way. It might be easier if you think of it as a hypothetical. Hypothetically, someone could label him/herself a Christian atheist and make perfect sense. Any chance you want to stop hiding behind this weird argument of yours now?

The point was to generalize, and that sometimes it is necessary. And yes, Christian Athiesm.

And I am aware that Buddhism has elements of supernatural, but it is not necessary to believe in any supernatural being at all, to be a practicing Buddhist.
