I've recently heard about people who identify as "spiritual but not religious." Is there a philosophical sense to this (in essence, philosophers who would hold such a stance), and if so are there philosophers who identify as "religious but not spiritual."

This seems better suited for social scientists on the clarity of defintions in surveys— but, to take a stab at it, 'religious' might imply a sense of organization around belief or dogma; whereas 'spiritual' can just mean having a sense of enchantment or enthusiasm.

In general I'd say philosophers tend to describe 'spiritual'as not necessarily religious— for example, Charles Taylor describes 'spiritual' as meaning ethics in the most broad sense in *Sources of the Self*.
