No snippage of previous posts please; I'm looking for a definition of 'spiritual'.
Generally speaking, people who do not follow a religious tradition and may not even believe in gods as entities - but do feel or believe in some sort of inneffable, commonly supernatural, "x" or spirit permeating the world around them. Any animist, most neopagans, assorted shamans and fortune tellers and ritualists fit this descriptor. All deists fit. Some theists - but it's a stretch on that count.
