Historically, from the perspective of the soul, there have been two foundational routes to discover these truths: religion and spirituality. Although they have many similarities and there is a relationship between the two, there are differences between religion and spirituality.
Religion: By definition, religion is a personal set or institutionalized system of religious attitudes, beliefs, and practices; the service and worship of God or the supernatural.
Spirituality: Spirituality, on the other hand, connotes an experience of connection to something larger than you; living everyday life in a reverent and sacred manner. Or as Christina Puchalski, MD (leader in trying to incorporate spirituality into healthcare), puts it, “Spirituality is the aspect of humanity that refers to the way individuals seek and express meaning and purpose and the way they experience their connectedness to the moment, to self, to others, to nature, and to the significant or sacred."

For some individuals, spirituality is not necessarily tied to religious beliefs or practices. Instead, spirituality can be seen as a personal quest for meaning, purpose, and connection to something greater than oneself. This may involve exploring one's own values, beliefs, and experiences, as well as connecting with others, nature, and the world around us.
For an atheist, spirituality can be a way to find fulfillment and contentment in life, without relying on the traditional religious framework. This may involve finding a sense of community with others who share similar beliefs, practicing mindfulness or meditation to connect with the present moment, or simply taking time to reflect on one's place in the world.
Ultimately, spirituality is a highly personal and individualized experience, and what works for one person may not (will not) work for another. Whether through spirituality, or being creative or both, the goal is to find what brings a sense of purpose, peace, and joy to one's life.
