Spirituality defines our basic principles of what is right; responsibility, compassion, brotherly love, etc.. "Morality' is applying those spiritual principles to life.
What is morality? What is spirituality? What is the relationship between morality and spirituality?
Our spirituality (our over all values we base our life on-religious or not) defines our morals. Like my value is family connection. So my choices reflect (or at least to me, should) what I value.
Without spirituality (life foundation) how do we define our morals.
You do not need Spirituality to define your morals.
In fact, many Atheists have high moral standards without Spirituality.
@OP Morality and Spirituality are completely different animals.
Spirituality In general includes a sense of connection to something bigger than ourselves, and it typically involves a search for meaning in life. Morality is the principles concerning the distinction between right and wrong or good and bad behavior.
Atheists are not spirituals nor do they have a religion. Yet their morality is revolved around common sense, logic and reasoning.
Please re read. Religious or not, spirituality defines our morals. We all have spirituality (foundation for our morals). We all have morals (decisions based on what we feel is, well, moral)
Athiesm and theism has nothing to do with humans "making good/bad decisions (morals) based on their values/life foundation (spirituality)
Our spirituality (our over all values we base our life on-religious or not) defines our morals. Like my value is family connection. So my choices reflect (or at least to me, should) what I value..
If you say so.
So, you believe our spirituality is our values?
Yes. Thank you.
If spirituality is our values, then what is morality?
You askes our views. My spirituality can be, I dont know, "I value ice cream because it makes my tummy feel good" sobmy morals (decisons) are based on what I value. Usually, the decision to buy chocolate or vanilla?
Youre confusing spirituality with religion.
Morals are based on spirituality. Spirituality is our foundation to our decisions. That foundation are our values.
You askes our views. .
So, let me see if I understand your response. Spirituality is our values and we make moral decisions on the basis of what we value. Right?
Also I did not ask about your views regarding this topic but thanks for sharing.
Wait. Youre not the OP. Anyway. That is the relationship between the two. One is based on the other.
Cheers.

"Does that involve a purpose or goal?"
Does morality have a purpose or goal?
Are you an atheist?
