Goddess Soul- so true that is! Without the fear of damnation most religions have no power. At the same time most religious people believe their choice in religion is what guarantees them a peaceful eternity- but in most cases it guarantees stubborn indifferences that produce the hell-mind experience in the first place.
Spirituality, or Spirit Reality, is tailored as we see fit, it is a way of reminding ourselves constantly that we are spiritual and not physical beings. And those who have indeed experienced the hell-mind know how to overcome it. If we encounter Devils and Demons- we fan them off not with bibles but with laughter, because a spiritual person conscious of who they really are is fear-less.
In all fairness overtime most religious people realize their own spirit reality. For some it takes a few incarnations into the matrix, for others it might take a near death experience. Black people come from the spirit reality and not the religion. We know this from our culture. When certain forms of music, dance and fashion become redundant we changed it. We were constantly reinventing ourselves. But now the religious mindset is spilling over into our culture as well. The culture has become redundant, and everything we are making turns out to be a carbon copy of the original.
Religion is not about the soul of originality, you are not allowed to be your own self, you must perform just like everyone else- or pay the price of judgment. Yet most religious people hide their spiritual activities from those that share their religion. But they need those activities in order to feel sane and grounded.
Quoting the bible every change they get doesn't seem to fill the prescription for spiritual awareness. Something else is pulling at their soul, and thankfully it is not Satan, it's just the truth.
