Why is Faith and Spirituality Often Misunderstood?

I believe faith and spirituality is misunderstood because it can tend to be overly mystified. It's actually a simple concept, for example people walk in different moods or “state of spirit.” Have you heard the phrases before, “His or Her spirit is ('UP' or 'Down')?” We can choose to optimize the fruits of the spirit: LOVE, JOY, PEACE, PATIENCE, GENTLENESS, FAITHFULNESS, SELF — CONTROL, KINDNESS, GOODNESS; Those are also fruits of the spirit that The Bible talks about.
