Abstract	This paper contributes to the discussion on how morality may be uncertain when life orientation changes, for instance, from religious belief to spirituality. Accepting the 'subjectivation' thesis as a key concept in understanding the contemporary world, the spiritual realm is treated as a site on which the subjective turn has made a tremendous impact. That turn is investigated particularly in a comparison between "subjective-life" spirituality and "life-as" religion. Then, this paper asks what happens to morality when people's religious belief disappears, changes, or evolves into spiritual experience. Educational practices are also viewed as a resonant field where the subjective turn has impacted on morality. The context of this paper refers to the subjective turn, as explained by "The Spiritual Revolution: Why Religion is Giving Way to Spirituality." Then, the comparison of "life-as" and "subjective-life" is expressed according to their diverse values. Finally, the conclusion deals with the crucial points of morality in subjective life. In this regard, it is stressed that 'subjectivation' is a feature of our time, and presenting a remarkable challenge in the realm of values. Since their orientations are different, 'subjective-lives' have a different disposition in morality than the mode of "life-as." Although it is impossible to generalize concerning whether or not spirituality is moral, nevertheless, it is expected that there will be challenges for religious education when dealing with spirituality.
