spirituality connects with religion but it can also connect with medicine, social work, the arts, self-help, and theology. Religion has 3 main thrusts: desire to do good; belief in Supreme Being, and belief in afterlife state. Spirituality as an innate tendency towards ultimate good can connect with all three issues.
I would be interested in working with you, especially if you are considering religion in the U.S. and its effect on our culture--or as a reflection of our culture. How would you want to focus this topic? Or perhaps you would prefer a theoretical approach. I would like to see the application of the three main thrusts relative to daily life. I would need to think this through--but the subject interests me.
