I think spiritual people believe some sort of power in the universe but it doesnt have to be God. Religious people believe in God and prophets, or whatever their belief is. I think spiritual people dont have certain rules. they take the parts of each religion, and believe them all.

Religious is always concerning religion, but we can use word "spiritual" when we refer, for example, to music.

I don't agree. Religious and spiritual in some cases are similar terms and we can use them according to all believers. Term "religion" means - to have faith in someone, in one God or gods.

- A religious person is a person who believes strongly in a religion and takes part in it.
'A deeply religious person.'
- A spiritual person is a person who is concerned with sacred matters or religion or the church.
There's certainly a difference between 'being religious' and 'being spiritual'. Spirituality is something internal.Religion is something external. Spirituality is a quest for answers to ultimate questions which may not lead to specific practices. However, religion is an organized system of beliefs, symbols, practices designed to bring one closer to God and which induce the thinking of sprituality.
Therefore, religious people can be spiritual, but a spiritual person doesn't necessarily need to attach himself to a religion. Christian people, for example, are spiritual; they travel to countries to seek the truth and concepts in the religions.
