Although it can be problematic to see the two as isolated binaries, I once had a friend brilliantly characterize the difference between spirituality and religion:
Spirituality is an experience with the Divine
Religion is an explanation of that experience.
Spirituality is an experience with the Divine
Religion is an explanation of that experience.
