No universal definition of “spiritual” exists. An australian abo, a Buddhist, or a Muslim Sufi all see it differently.
I, and probably most of the people on Digg or Reddit, don’t hate religious people OR Christians. I suspect that they DO hate it when small groups of “spiritual people” of sect X decide to legislate political matters based on unprovable, mythologically based views of the world. This affects everyone directly and has provably cause great harm to gays, jews, puritans and anabaptists.
Whether the universe was created by an omniscient superbeing(s) or not, does it matter? None of them have shown up this morning offering to help me with anything, any more than I would show up at an anthill 100 miles north and offer to help ant number 3432. Besides, if they DO exist, all bets are off. They can effect your memory and make you believe anything they want.
Spirituality can well be a “feeling.” There’s no commonly accepted criterion. Many of my spiritual moments have include “feelings.”
