Science without Religion is lame

Is open ended for learning and understanding purpose. I don’t think he meant it to be blatantly a black and white conclusion

I once heard Richard Dawkins say he was deeply religious like Einstein is. Without the personal or supernatural God. Yet Einstein did believe in God. When the consensus of world's population claims it’s 90% spiritual, are they being illrational and if they are , are you much better and well rounded than all of the other 90%?

Curious: how do you define spiritual?

I define spiritual in somewhat of the Native American sense, which is being in touch with the intangible like your emotions and your psyche. Therefore, someone does not need religion to be spiritual and being religious does not necessarily entail being spiritual. Most people define spiritual as somehow being synonymous with religion, so when most people say they are spiritual, they mean religious. As for the religious person themselves I can't comment on their rationality as I don't know them, but their beliefs definitely appear irrational to me. If being more well rounded means not basing my life on mythical fairy tales, then yes, I am.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
