Nobody really "finds Jesus" because Jesus does not exist. The term "I found Jesus" is an analogy. It does not mean that Jesus was missing and someone "found" him. It does not mean that they suddenly saw him walking down the street and went up to him and kissed his robe.
It simply means that they realized and accepted the religious notion of what "Jesus" stands for and have accepted the dogma attached to that religious notion. |

God is not about religion. God is about a relation, is about our spirituality. You can know ever word of the bible from front to back through out ones religious studies and at the same time not know God. |

God is not about religion. Right God just make Commandments so that you don't follow them ...perhaps that's why people can't stop sinning |

I have no idea if they have no spirituality, that is between them and God. wouldn't that fact that it's between them and God means that they do have spirituality that's why you can't have religion without having spirituality and vice versa |

Say there is a Christian who is quite interested in general about the different beliefs around the world. How they came to be, who established them, what groups of people held close to those beliefs, ect. This person has put there faith in Christianity, they are spiritually enlightened by this faith. They have not spiritually been attached to these religions they are merely "studying". That is the difference between "religious" and "spiritual". |

Religion and spirituality are two separate things, can be two totally different things as well depending on the elements involved. When one studies a "religion" they are not becoming spiritually attached nor will they. |

What do I mean? The Christian God proclaims He is the "Only" God. Therefore, the Commandments aren't a "religious" idea, they are an "ordinance". God, in other words, didn't "invent" religion, Man did when we started to stray from "One God" by creating thousands. That "act" created "religion". That's imo. |

A "religion" is a study. A "spirituality" is a life. |
