Spirituality must be accompanied by freedom of thought and freedom of choice or it is not real spirituality.

Religion does not engender freedom of thought - on the contrary, it regiments and punishes according to myth, dogma and shibboleth. So - religion is not spiritual, it is something else. Being Canadian, OTOH, is what you are by default. It defines you empirically, individually & collectively. As they say, you can take the boy out of the country, but you can't take the country out of the boy.

Just become one of the fruits isn't a banana it doesn't mean none of them might be bananas.

Well - we can say they're all religions anyway, and they are all, each in their own special way, bananas.
