You have to come to terms with who you are first, and be able of separating good from bad. This is a faculty that is developed over time through a person's life. A person may be spiritual without religion, but only when they have transcended religion.

However a person who is aware of things beyond the physical can be called a spiritual person. This can happen without any uniform worship of a god (religion). Religion is a thing of "action". Spirituality is an awareness with or without action. .

I would say yes. There are experiences with the Divine that have nothing to do with any one organized religion. There are many religions that have obvious truth and obvious falsity, but one can know the divine in a spiritual way without religion.

I consider myself very spiritual but not religious. I have seen too many people hide behind religion to justify their actions. You can't go to church one day and then do what you want with no fear of consequences just because you go to church! My spirituality allows me to question things the church can't/won't answer for me. I don't feel comfortable having to go to church to be a good person or to believe in God or whoever it may be. I don't want to feel like I have to go to church or I am damned. I can go to church to enhance my spirituality but I go when I want. My journey never ends.

It can be very difficult to be "spiritual" when one is not "religious". In my own experience, I have tried to become more spiritual even while my religious beliefs have become more agnostic (almost atheistic). It is truly difficult.

One of the most difficult things is trying to define what it means to be spiritual outside of the context of religion. Our society has so tightly linked these two concepts together that we tend to reject any uncoupling. I am still struggling with this now.

Speaking from a personal stand point, I say yes you can be. To be spiritual one has to be completely happy with one's self. Not only that, but be able to define what is 'good' and what is 'bad'. Also you have to be open to the fact that people have religion so they themselves can understand life and themselves. And need to be accepting to the fact that people are going to discriminate against them, and they need to be able to live with that, and not be dragged down because people don't like you.

I am a very spiritual person. i believe in the power of prayer. i believe in healing, angles, demons, ghost, etc. I believe in the soul. bottem line is i believe in all kinds of spirits and I experiance them every day. I am a very spiritual person and i am in no way religious.

Of course. Religion just makes it easier because a person doesn't have to think for themselves. Spiritual followers don't want to hear anything but what they've been taught or told. Look, now they are controlling spirituality. Saying who can or can't be spiritual. Get a life. I've been spiritual all my life and still am but it is no blind spirituality. It is a spirituality with both eyes and my mind open. I have studied Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Taoism and nature worshiping religions and societies. It's what you would call a will for knowledge I guess but most "religious" people are probably denied the right of have such an attribute. How unfortunate that by reading other opinions the very (all powerful) faith they stand on (actually live on) could be destroyed. All educated people know the reasons for banning books and practicing any type of censorship. Open discussion is always looked down on by institutions of religion or government. In an egg shell, I am in support.

Not this crude matter.

We are spiritual beings in the great university of life whether we are religious or not.
