Faith, religion, and spirituality in the City of Trenton, Michigan are the chief subjects of this portion of our guide.
Religion and spirituality are distinct terms, and both are related to faith. In ordinary usage, religion defines a set of beliefs, usually concerning the origins, nature, and purpose of life, and often involving a sacred text, rituals, and codes.
Spirituality is more difficult to define, and is often defined as the quality of being spiritual, which doesn't tell anyone much. The focus of religion is on the content of an individual's belief, as well as the response to it, while the focus of spirituality is on becoming more attuned to unworldly affairs.
It is possible to be religious without being spiritual, and spiritual without being religious. Spirituality is more abstract than religion because religion involves a defined code of ethics, which is tangible, while spirituality is more nebulous.
Faith involves the belief that something is true in the absence of definitive proof. In the context of Christianity, Hebrews 11:1 defines faith as the assurance of things hoped for and the conviction of things not seen, while other New Testament references to faith state that it is necessary for salvation.
