[Margaret Pilkington]

You can be spritiual without being religious.(I like to think that over the years I have become more spiritual -though perhaps it is philosophical rather than spiritual...I don't know)
Faith does not need to be religion based either. I am faithful in my marriage......I have faith in family values.
I have no religion....so am I an atheist? I live by what are, by and large, Christian principles and yet do not subscribe to the dogma of that religion. No I wasn't married in Church and I didn't have my daughter christened.

I am only mentionig these things for illustration. I am not 'getting' at anyone for their beliefs or lack of them.

Whatever gets you through the dark times is Ok by me...as long as it doesn't impact on anothers life values.
