I know its been said in a few different ways already, but i'll say it again my way...
Religion as a guide on how to live well, as a philosophy of loving your fellows and doing the right thing, is very good, and a driving force behind a lot of good in society. Religion as a monopoly on your life, as an ultimatum on what you can and can't do, as a way for religious leaders to use you as a pawn and control your life, is horrible and wrong, and a driving force behind a lot of evil in society.

As to "the definition of Religion versus the definition of Spirituality" - that does tend to be a huge misconception (confusing the two) - but after all, Religion tries as hard as it can to get confused with Spirituality, so what do you expect?
