Unlike religion, spirituality isn't tied to any organised structure or specific deities that you have to worship. It is about introspection, meditation, mindfulness practices, and being at peace within oneself and the world.

religion is often organized and involves specific beliefs and practices, while spirituality is more personal and about connecting with something greater than yourself

Being religious is following gods, who are originated from the supreme power, but being spiritual is directly following the supreme power, without the middle layer.

Both help improve mood, reduce anxiety and depression, and can lead to a calm, balanced state of mind. But exercise is not a replacement for meditation, nor is meditation a replacement for exercise.
