Spirituality and religion were indistinguishable until the rise of secularism in the 20th century. Our lives then shifted to include more elements defined as spiritual. Disillusionment with religious leadership resulted in a drop in public confidence in religious establishments and, consequently, spirituality began to acquire a distinct and separate meaning. Vaughan has defined spirituality as “a subjective experience of the sacred” (Vaughan 1991:105). By contrast, religiousness acquired a narrower definition associated with religious institutions that are identified with prescribed theology and rituals. Within this separation of the religious and spiritual landscapes, spirituality became centered on personal phenomena and meaningfulness which could be identified as personal transcendence, in contrast to the more narrowly defined religiousness identified with organized, less inclusive religious institutions, with their structured dogma and rituals and religious orthodoxy.
