Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Religion and spirituality can provide support and strength in dealing with mental illnesses and emotional problems. Spirituality develops over time and is a dynamic, conscious process characterized the personal development of meaning, belief, connection, self-transcendence, and value. Related but different than spirituality, religiousness is the participation in a community of people who gather around common ways of worshiping. Although spirituality can be expressed through adhering to a particular religion, it can also be expressed in the absence of religion. Religiousness does not necessarily require self-reflection.
