Is religion more or less important now?

Now that you are a "Senior" is religion/spirituality more important or less important to you than when you were younger? Has anyone changed religions?

Religion is not Spirituality.
Spirituality is part of me right
from my younger days. Now it has
turned to be the very purpose of
my living. Religion binds with
rituals not spirituality. There
is no binding at all.

I do know the difference between "religion" and "spirituality" (don't need a lesson). I put them together because although they are not one in the same they are related.

A close and personal relationship with the Almighty God is what is most important in my life. Always has been and always will be. I guess this is why I'm such a Lover ... I take after my Father (My heavenly Father, that is!)

Although raised as Jew, after the death of my dad when I was 11, rocked blind faith right out of me, through the years I developed a Spirituality,that is not based on any particular religion, I have found that respecting and taking comfort from everything from Hindu through Catholicism, Wiccan and Native American beliefs can sooth my soul. All of that helped me face the loss of my mother last November. And contemplation of it all brought a small measure of peace in my grief.

I think my belief in God has not faltered, I do think, hell I know my faith in the Catholic Church has changed. I could get an annulment if I wanted to say that my marriage was a mistake because we were to young.........but that would be a lie.

But I believe in one God and that has not changed.
