21. Since I'm agnostic
I've learned to reframe the word spirituality. My 'spirit' is simply a word that encompasses everything I am, and my 'spirituality' describes everything that I am, that affects everything and everybody else around me.

So having a spiritual house in order, even without a concept of a deity, means I'm going to do the best I can with the principles I've learned. Honesty, hope, faith, courage, integrity, willingness, humility, love for others, justice, perseverance, spirituality (that word again) and service

Religion may have all kinds of spiritual principles, but is usually about a specific deity with specific rules for worship. Not my cup of tea, even If I was emotionally capable of it.
