You recite from Paul who states what what I have found. He is correct in every measure, by my own experience and journey. I know, and am certain, there is a Creator: whether the name "God" applies, I cannot truthfully say, as his description and name is different depending on where you are in the world and what religion you view. Thus, I settle for "Creator", not as a given name, but both as a noun and verb that is all-encompassing.
I needed no man-made temple, trappings, or finger wagging to reveal the truths I now know. But to each their own, as the saying goes.
So we are full circle: You do not need religion to know spirituality that is inherent in all things.

I agree with you, and we merely differ on what our spiritual senses tell us: God is real and we can come to know him through prayer, and through his Prophets who organize us together in families and congregations.
