My sense of spirituality is the sense being humbled by the scale and grandeur of our Universe, and understanding how insignificant I am in it -- but at the same time understanding that I'm a part of the Universe too, that we are all parts of it. We're the parts that do the thinking. It's not woo, no matter your preconceived notions; that's simply a dramatic oversimplification, so far as I'm concerned.
Being humbled by the scale and grandeur of the universe? Isn't that stargazing?
Stargazing is the act of looking at the stars. Being humbled by it and getting warm fuzzy feelings, that's the "spiritual" experience that comes with it.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
