Spirituality and Religion: How are they Related? How are they Different?

I've found this two-part article (here) from Dr. Graham English (in the website Catholica) entitled "Why the Division between Religion and Spirituality in Society Today" to be an excellent introduction to reflecting on the points of similarity and difference between 'Religion' and 'Spirituality'. My only reservation with it is its simplistic description of Pascal's Wager in Part II. A more substantial explanation of Pascal's Wager can be found here.

Dr. English defines spirituality as:

Spirituality is about finding a meaning for your life that, unlike addiction, is not destructive, a meaning that enriches and enhances instead. It is about knowing you are notGod then getting on with your life. Spirituality is to do with humans trying to work out a convincing and helpful meaning of life. And as the word spirituality suggests many of those people who are spiritual claim or believe that some of the meaning of life is not material, it cannot be measured. It has to do with 'the world of the spirit' even if many of them do not agree about what this non-material dimension might be or what 'the world of the spirit' means.

Religion, according to him, is:

Religion too is about producing meanings. Religion is one of the human constructs or institutions that form a structure for people to seek the meaning of life, and to express what they believe or accept as the meaning of life. Instead of seeking meaning alone, religion allows people to do it in a community or least in company. It also means the community need not be based just in the present. It can be like Chesterton's comment on tradition. Tradition he says is the realisation that voting rights extend even to those no longer alive. Tradition is Great-Grandma still having her say. It is the democracy of the dead. Religion means that even though Saint Benedict lived in the 7th century his insights are still alive in the community.
The trick though is to make sure this tradition is alive and helpful now and not a millstone around people's necks. Bad tradition kills and it is one of the reasons religion has such a bad name. (emphases mine)

Of course, these definitions are non-exhaustive. They are merely the views of this particular author.

This blog's name for now is "Spiritual >but not-and yet< Religious." I would like to call attention intentionally to the central part between the words 'spirituality' and 'religious'. It denotes a relation of tension, not a clean break. Yes, I do acknowledge that there are many problems with organized religion. I've experienced them myself in many and often discouraging ways. However, I also uphold that spirituality cannot be just worked out by the individual without reference to something like a community. In this regard, I'd like to draw attention to a recent book by Lillian Daniel intriguingly entitled When "Spiritual but not Religious" is not Enough. See for example this review in Christianity today where it says that Daniel is "simply unimpressed with any sort of spiritual life extracted from the messiness of a community."
