Atheism and Spirituality

Atheism and Spirituality
Atheism is the non-belief in a god or gods.

However that definition does not rule out a belief in the supernatural. So what I'm wondering is what you think about spiritual/supernatural experiences? All those religious experiences that people supposedly have, they may simply be something science can explain or something science hasn't yet entered.

Is there a spiritual world for an atheist? Keeping in mind that atheism is simply the non-belief in a god or gods, and not the belief that there is nothing spiritual about this world.

Has anyone here had a spiritual experience that they choose to enjoy/believe, regardless of what they believe about the existence of a god?
