I think the term "religion" has a lot more societal/organizational connotations associated with it. It touches on concepts of community, rituals, value of specific texts, proscription of certain behaviors and prohibition of others, and so on. People talk of "organized religion," but "organized spirituality" doesn't make as much sense.
Spirituality is one aspect of religion, dealing with the meaning of existence, etc. It's has a more personal and philosophical connotation.
You could have two people be members of the same religion, but have different spiritual existences.
At least that's my take on it. The terms can be somewhat fluid, though.
