Last updated on: October 3, 2012 at 8:35 am By Rev. David Alexander

The category “Spiritual But Not Religious” has become a growing and popular trend in western culture. It is a catchy and cool way of saying “hey man, I’m totally in to Spirit and God Stuff – but I could do without all the dogma, rules and stuffy church things.” In some circles this growing trend and identifier (SBNR) has been viewed as a threat to traditional religions.
