Hi Religion Unplugged readers, Today’s top story from contributor John Mac Ghlionn begins with a new Pew Research study that surveyed over 10,000 adults in East Asia and Vietnam. The study shows that the region is significantly less religious than other parts of the globe — but the full picture is much more complex. Ghlionn explores the distinction between religion and spirituality alongside the fundamental spiritual beliefs of the region which play a large role in everyday life. Inside The Unseen Forces Shaping East Asian Beliefs(ANALYSIS) Spirituality and religion, while often overlapping, have distinct differences. Spirituality is primarily about an individual's personal connection to a higher power, the universe or a deeper sense of meaning and purpose in life. It is flexible and subjective, allowing for a wide range of beliefs and practices tailored to personal needs and experiences. In contrast, religion typically involves organized institutions with established doctrines. by John Mac Ghlionn In A Sign Of Unity, Muslims Feed Hindu Pilgrims In Kashmir
