I always thought of the difference between spirituality and religion as one whereby 'man' can control the human population in the name of 'God" (portray human jugement and often, limited human breadths of vision, as God's laws); and spirituality being an understanding or belief that a non-judgmental entity is the Source that has existed through the ethers of time and that as individuals, we subconsciously use It to direct (or destroy) our lives. In fact God may not be one single entity - but actually 6+billion individuals that all have the same access to this original Entity that religion calls God! Evolution is just the passage in time where we explore our ability to 'evolve out thinking', to intentionally or unintentionally, create our life paths ...

I should add that if one believes in 'cause and effect" then evolution is not so much accidental, but the result of an effect responding to a cause (which one might label as random - because every single response is different when an 'individual' or living creature is the cause and/or the effect).
