Spiritulity VS Religion

I think Religion and Spirituality are two interrealed terms. Both of them are related with each other as the essense behind the both is the same thing. For me Religion is the basic principles that u follow in life to live a righteous life, to do ur prescribed duties and to do things for the welfare of world. Religion is inevitable as this is what we grew up by and what we will be walking on. Religion leads a man to do his duties properly and to walk in the path of righteousness, religion basically follows the teachings of god or an enlightened person whileas spiritualilty is little broader topic for me, Spirituality is basically doing research, analysis and implementation of the soul or spirit. Our soul is our ultimate consciouness and it is eternal, never born never dead. We people feel all kinds of attachment, pain and pleasure because we identify ourself with body. Relationship, hatred, fondness are all there because of mind, so when a person takes himself as a soul then he is a consciouness in himself and he is eternal, when he gets enlightened  on the fact that he is not the body but the soul then he is liberated from this material world.The main cause of bondage in this material world is desire. What we become in our next life is decided by our desire at the time of death. Religion puts us in the right track to get past all the attachments and spirituality leads us to liberation or in simple terms religion is the basis of purification of ones mind and body but spirituality is the process of liberting the soul from this material world. If i were asked which is more important, religion or spirituality then my answer would be spirituality as lord Krishna said in bhagawad geeta ," give up all varities of religion and surrender to me and i shall give you  liberation", its obvious to us from the words of the lord that religion is not the most importand thing in any people's life, still people identify themselves with there body, mind and religion and act accordingly. From spirituality context killing in the name of dharma is the most absurd deed because this very own deed leads religion to be a poision. We all humanity should take ourself as soul because two souls are same though they may have an individual identity ans two souls never kill each other only two bodies does, we can make this world a better place to live if Osama Bin Laden, Americans and all other human being take up the idea of spirituality, religion is the not the end goal but spirituality is.
