Spirituality
Religion, faith, and spirituality are all different. Religion is more organized and has rules to follow. Faith is the belief and trust you have in someone or something. Spirituality is the understanding of your conscious. I have had past experiences in this, especially in middle school, however they were negative. Long story short, I had friends that were extremely fundamentalist. The South reflects religion and some faith, however many people go to church or respective place of worship because of tradition rather than wanting to go. The South is a fairly traditional place though. USC doesn't reflect this so much, at least in it's students. I have met many atheists and agnostics here, a lot more than in high school. It's refreshing to me at least, because I knew a lot of people who were die-hard-religious.

It's an interesting way you describe the three. I agree with you on the South in its traditional roots in religion. I'm glad that USC is a very open and diverse population of students. It's a great place to ask many questions about religion/spirituality/etc.
