I think people have a tendency to equate spirituality with religion. While this certainly can be true, it isn't necessarily true.
There's a very real sense in which 'spiritual' can refer to being in a state of awe regarding the natural world (Einstein and Sagan were both proponents of this). It can also refer to a sense of being, or belonging, or an awareness of the inner Self. It's really one of those nebulous terms that can mean whatever a particular proponent needs it to mean.
That being said, the term has also become a buzzword among segments of the non-religious population who reject it in toto. As described in the article, I really don't think there's anything to get in a twist over.
