Spirituality as an atheist?

[God of Mr. Hanky]

The question "What is spiritual?" is no less simple and no more difficult than answering the question "What is of the mind?". Mind is a word which intellectuals began to use for the documenting of their work when they were looking for better answers than the their church officials could provide, and they didn't want to lose their heads for stepping on their authority regarding the "spirit". Thus it is no more than an evasive synonym for the same idea, albeit one which is now understood much differently within intellectual circles in that we know it's probably as mortal as the rest of the body. The activity of the poetic "heart", although it may cause specific sensations in the chest, is also now known to take place in a part of the brain. Therefore, "heart", "mind", and "spirit" (or "soul) are quite literally one and the same. Looking at it this way, I don't flip out anymore when somebody uses the word "spiritual", although I may enjoy pointing out how when he uses that word,
