"Spirituality", as I have come to understand it, is just a lame cop-out of religious people who don't want to be associated with the crumbling of the Abrahamic religions. It is just another label or 'tribe' a person can lay claim to and so feel that they belong, a set of 'rituals' that can mark their days, weeks, months, years. I have also noted that the more "spiritual or religious" an individual is the more they are high on their own dopamine. I am also to understand from scientific studies (in neurology and sports science) that this is a factor as to why so many people MUST go and perform what ever sport or activity that will produce this high. Some people mistake this "high" for 'spirituality' it is easy to generate and I have done so my self. It really isn't all that special or wonderful. It just is.

You seem to have a very limited view here. Science is ALL about the universe from the excruciatingly tiny to the Massively HUGE. Evolution is only one very, very infantisimal part of the whole exploration science is undertaking (IMHO) I would argue that IF you are fond of giving yourself tickets/ labels then I would settle for "Just an Artist" unless you do those lovely drawings that grace many a Web page.
What is an "environmental entertainer??" A gardener?? And how are your Eco-Villages coming a long?? They aren't new of course..I think the concept was posited in the 1950's or there a bouts. They mostly fail ya know

Atheists don't have a down side I don't think. The freedom to manoeuvre and speculate and test and explore..I personally see no "Down side" Much better than getting stuck with an outmoded label.... Yes Atheists are honesty (generally speaking) I think because that is the science kicking in and dictating the methodology of response to any question. Science doesn't claim to have ALL the answers that is why it will change and develop as new information becomes available. Atheism is not a "Dead-End" ....quite the contrary. "Spiritualism" is very much a 'Dead-End' and is used for those who are too weak to stand on their own two feet and are desperate for guarantees.

Are you referring to Irony?? It is a great stress reliever and used a lot on this forum. Atheists NOT artistic?? While I do not have a complete list of EVERY Atheist artist, I think you will find that artistic and creative people are the ONLY people who can claim are atheistic. Have YOU met EVERY artist on this planet?? Neither have I; yet I do think that every atheist on this forum is artistic and creative and lives an UN-lame lifestyle. Suffice to say atheists HAVE lived and survived it all.
Your first language isn't english is it??

As an aside and since you seem to love Architectural Landscaping have you seen this thread??
http://atheistforums.org/thread-5983.html
I am working on a new property that incorporates an 'edible landscape' with the use of solar passive technology and water wise plantings for one of the driest places on the planet.

I think it is very creative and rather artistic.
