spiritual but not religious

I grew up Christian and was turned off by the dogma in my fundamentalist church, however I was left wanting to believe in some form of divine being because this was a major part of my upbringing and shaped my early experience with the world. Later I became interested in Buddhism because of its ties to spirituality without directly affirming an existence of god. 

Is it possible to be spiritual but not religious, and if so could someone still be considered an atheist?

Do you believe in god if not then you are an atheist. You can believe whatever else you want and be an atheist. 
So welcome friend.



You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
