It seems to me they are either theists unclear in their thinking and/or desiring to avoid the stigma of religion, or atheists not wanting to appear cold and unfeeling.
"God is spirit" is your definition, not ours, one which you're imposing onto the discussion without foundation or adding new information. But even if we go with your definition, it in no way follows that spirituality pertains to "God". Beethoven wrote music, but not all music is Beethoven. Thus, whatever "it seems" to you is your problem, not ours.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
