Mormon to Human; still "moral" and "spiritual"

This whole year has been such a great year, and I've never been so happy, but it has also been a period of self discovery. Quite a while ago I was running and was thinking about what I believe (see previous post). I've always thought that being religious is a way of abiding by certain morals and values, and that people (Mormons in my experience) act like if you aren't religious you are an immoral person with no values or guiding system; a sinner. This has always bothered me because I've never thought that you had to be "religious" to have morals or values. I believe that morals and values are inherent to human nature because they benefit the whole of society. Realizing this made me feel much better about not abiding by any particular religion.

Somewhere along the run I then began thinking about what it means to be "spiritual" and to have the "holy ghost." Once again I thought that religious people (Mormons in particular) think you need to be religious to have spiritual experiences and to be able to feel the "holy ghost." I just don't agree with that idea because of what I've observed in all people I've ever met, as well as my personal experiences. I decided that a sense of "spirituality" is inherent to human nature as well. So to make a long story short, I decided that spirituality is a common bond that all humans experience on some level. It is a feeling, not a power. It is a connection to a feeling that ties us to other people, places, experiences, and things. It is also a human characteristic that causes us to form bonds, listen to our bodies as well as nature, and feel compassion towards all people and things.
