I'm not very clear on the line between spirituality and religion, but my T's have welcomed discussion of all these things as obviously they are a part of who we are as humans. I'm sure that issues don't arise for everyone as they have for me, but I think considering yourself in relationship to faith and spirtuality is a worthwhile inquiry in therapy.

I don't know where the quote originates, but
"Religion is for people who are afraid to go to hell. Spiritually is for those who have been there."
