Answer 1

I am neither, and am not passing judgement on either, but generally:

Spirituality is believing in things that cannot be explained, like souls, an afterlife, some kind of grand plan.

Religion is following the rules of a specific grouping of people who believe in a specific God or gods, or specific afterlife, or way of life that has greater meaning than simple ethics or custom, or some combination thereof.

Religion is essentially organised and structured spirituality.
