Answer 1

There are so many religion in the world, Every religion has some specific belief and rituals when comparing with the other religion, However some items and belief are similar to each religion. Most of the religion in the world had some Iconic symbols and picture as their god and Holy things. They worship in front of them, they adore the human created pictures and even they treat those things as the most holy things in the world. But there some other kind of religious people they do not have any kind of God's like images or sculpture to adore them. They pray and worship god simply in front of anything. They did not keep any non living material as a holy things.

The reason why there are not keeping any of God's image like other are, they are believing that god has no physical image like human body. He is in the form of spirit. He is pneumatic. They are believing that you can not sea god with your physical eyes But your realize god in your heart and the inner being. The other reason that they not worshiping the God's image is, It was written in their holy scriptures, that you should not adore any sculpture as a god, worship me, I am the real god. So as it written in their scripture, they are obeying the God's word. That's why they are steer from this kind of things.

By doing like this, their spiritual experience has never been decreased, In other words they are very Zeal and enthusiastic than other religion who are praying God's image which was made by man. The progress in the spiritual experience and their spiritual growth is because of the following of very word giving their scripture. Their belief is that real god is in the form of spirit, we human being also made of spirit in our innermost being, This spirit is only to contact and worship Spirit God. So their spiritual experience is well, and it depends on the individual and their growth.
