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.
This is Stimbo at his finest.
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.
