AI Thread Summary
Morality and spirituality are distinct concepts, with morality focusing on normative ethics and the study of right and wrong behavior, while spirituality serves as a broad term encompassing various meanings often linked to a connection with something greater than oneself. The two share minimal common ground, although many religions incorporate moral principles. Morality quantifies ethical standards in the universe, whereas spirituality emphasizes the personal connection individuals have with the universe.
