What does this definition mean? (definition of culture)?

Question

'intellectual, spiritual, aesthetic development of a society'

What do they mean by spiritual development of society?is it religion?

Answer 1

Sort of. Spiritual development can mean more than just religion. It's how a particular group of people handle the basic questions of life: Why are we here? What happens when we die? How did we get here? That sort of thing. While many religions tackle those questions, a culture doesn't necessarily NEED a defined religion to develop spiritually.

Answer 2

www.bahai.org will show u how religion and spirituality differs esp as we are brought up to see religion as spiritual too.  the diff is subtle. when u question life, existence etc and u try to serve humanity in whatever small ways u can, u r spiritual without the religious thingy.  

try reading some chinese websites where they hv a diff perspective of spirituality and they are not religious
