About This Quote
Religion is for those who are scared of hell, and spirituality is for those who have been there. This may seem like an odd thing to say, but it really isn't. Religion is for the religious people who believe in hell and spirituality is for everyone else. This quote is used to assert that there are two different groups of people.
The religious ones who fear hell, and the ones who haven't ever been there. If you haven't ever been to hell, you don't know how bad it can be. But, if you were to go there, then you would realize how bad hell really is.
