Ok, so maybe you can explain how any non-subjective phenomenon which cannot be asserted without making non-falsifiable claims can be proven so to anyone, regardless of his religion or culture? Just try and do that without dismissing the doubter as "ignorant", without ever specifying precisely what he's so ignorant of - you know you can never do that, therefore your assertions don't deserve any respect. Only science works for anyone who will examine what it finds without applying the power of suggestion and social pressure to the observer.

Personally, I consider all forms of transcendent truths 'spiritual', i.e. transcendent in that they are certain and apply universally to all particulars. Like metaphysics, math doesn't have to run experiments per se. I don't need to run an experiment to prove, in general, that particular beings exist or that some beings can be numbered. I also consider that type of knowledge objective because that kind of truth does not depend on the opinion or observation of any particular subject knowing them.
A - hidey, HO!
Ok, then why don't you try writing out your spiritual equations, by which you have arrived at your conclusions on spirituality, down on paper for the rest of us to examine? What, there you theists go again attempting to compare your non-falsifiable claims to ideas which actually can be demonstrated, and in a perfectly consistent manner!
I CALL POO!!!
