I don't use the word spiritual and frankly lose intellectual respect for anyone who does, especially when it's being used to describe clearly psychological effects like superstition and bias. When it's harmless (ie affects no-one else) I'm pretty indifferent to it and just basically roll my eyes at most, but when people are trying to influence other people with it, such as psychics, fortune tellers etc... it can be downright cringey to watch at best or angering at worst depending on the context.
