[This Year's December Days Theme is Community, and all the forms that it takes. If you have some suggestions about what communities I'm part of (or that you think I'm part of) that would be worth a look, let me know in the comments.]

sonia talked about the difference between spirituality and religion, and how being atheist does not necessarily mean being without spirituality, in conversation with sabotabby talking about atheism, lack of spirituality, and all of those pricks who call themselves atheists and rational thinkers but still look at the world from a religious perspective. I agreed at sonia's that one can be spiritual without requiring a religious framework or a god or gods in your spiritual framework, and then I sat on my hands, because study of religious frameworks is a thing that I have done, both formally and informally, although not necessarily comprehensively, and infodumping where it's not asked for is usually bad form, or so I have learned.
( Here's the infodump, because it's in my own space. )
