Spirituality was not a generally known or used word in the '60s. If one was religious it was from going to an established religion's big building where your parents, both of them, insisted you go. There were the songs you learned to sing phonetically in Hebrew or Latin. The sixties, themselves, led to philosophical searching and delving that produced what we think of today as spiritual songs. Many of the most spiritual songs of that time were secular and they reflected more of a search for philosophical meaning than anything else.

That's how I saw it anyhow.

Today the spirituality dialogue is an attempt to bring some secular leaning thinking people back to the established old-time religions.
