Interesting comments.
Last time I checked there is no measuring tape for spirituality or inner space... and if we consider that religions were created by man, the implications of abuse within these systems only point to our nature of being manipulative human beings when it comes to our physical survival, security, and procreation. That said, people have been using the "church" since forever to further there own aims under the auspices of divine righteousness. But, if one believes that we are spiritual beings, (whatever that means individually) then these religions are only particular vehicles in which we feel more connected to that element which is greater than us, whether that is Christian-based, or otherwise. So to continue the analogy, if you don't like Fords don't drive one. And don't whine when someday you realize you don't have any wheels for such endeavors.
The real problem as I see it, besides some negative human elements, is spiritual vacuity. All those that don't believe in anything related to this are living life missing a connection that is both profound and fulfilling, and it doesn't have to be with a thunder-bolted man sitting on a throne or a heaven filled with virgins.
So what's worse... religious fervor or no acknowledgement of a higher power at all? Go out and see something beautiful, do something nice... feel some gratitude. God is in there.
