On feeling stupid.

... I think we can be spiritual with or without religion.

Is that all there is to it...be spiritual? Is that the endgame? The only concern/objective?

Of course it depends on how you define "spiritual." As I said, Mormon spirituality is vastly different than how I view it today. When I stopped believing in the Mormon version of God, and the "plan of salvation," everything changes. And yes, in my mind, getting comfortable with one's place in the universe is a very important objective.

How often have you heard of someone leaving Mormonism because they lost their faith in Jesus?

Nicely put.

Speaking as an agnostic, I think spirituality is all there is to it. I define spirituality as an internal mechanism that enables one to optimize their life's experience by couching it in meaning. Organized religion only provides a standardized template for this meaning, and it can be harmful if someone finds themselves using the wrong template for their personality.
