I am of the opinion that Man is a spiritual entity with a religious instinct. The humanistic Atheist working on his Doctorate is fulfilling his religious instinct just as surely as the Eskimo carving a totem pole.
Religiosity is just one way - and not the preferred way - our spirituality finds expression in the physical world.
It appears that the Pharisees practiced their religion to the detriment of their spirituality.
Their modern day counterparts can be found in great number sitting in a pew, singing in a choir, or preaching from a pulpit on any Sunday morning in any American town.
