It's not an artifact or subset of religion per se, since spirituality precedes and supersedes religion, but religion can, does and has served as a conduit for an emergent spirituality during a phase of human evolution when that becomes conscious, personal and more self-directed.
In the future religion as we know it will not even exist...but spirituality will certainly persist.

Very nicely clarified, Jyotir. Agreed, full stop. Spirituality in this deeper usage is understood as that aspect of our interbeing (union) which is intrinsic to our union (alignment) within ourselves and with all that is...and which is increasing made manifest as we walk our paths ever more consciously.
Peace & blessings
