To be honest I'm not totally clear where the boundaries between a religious belief and a spiritual belief are. I'm also not sure what spirituality looks like without religion.

Many decades ago I got into a church (I'm a Protestant-Christian) that was not a denomination they said they were. When I first went there I got recruited by a "discipler". He wanted me to move out of living alone and into his house with other single guys who were going to that church. I turned it down and he, along with others, pressured me to change my mind. I didn't give in and we parted. As we parted, they said, "I don't love God."
I don't know if that's been your experience. After I had left, my life didn't go the way I wanted it to. There were times when I wondered if leaving that church may have been the reason. If you leave something that's like a cult, that can happen after you leave. Well, anyways, a few years later, my life got better.
