Can you be “spiritual but not religious?” Can you be a good person without God?
Lots of people have asked the question, “Can’t I be a generally good person without caring about the whole religion thing?” I’m not talking about atheists who have asked the big questions in life and landed on conclusions I disagree with.

I've been hearing in 12 Step meetings since I got involved in 1988 the mantra "I'm spirtual not religious." Quite a few who claim this do so because they reject God's guidance on livivng a virtous & moral life. In short, they want a god (emphasise on little "g")that will not question thier sexual behavior.
