Heh, I wonder if we're going to agree on something :-)

Quick summary of the proposals so far:

  Religion: no, some people may be offended
  Faith: no, can be ambiguous
  Religious: no, adjective
  Philosophy: might be a cultural difference, but this looks wrong to me
  Theology: no, it's too narrow (for study)
  Spirit: no, can be ambiguous (IMHO)

Spirituality sounds like the next candidate, but again, people may be
offended...
