Spirituality, and also the definition of it, seems to be simply nonsense anyway. I want no part of it and reject that I can be an atheist and spiritual.

It's just semantically different. It has two definitions: one is the religious sense, which, I guess, many atheists don't believe and rightly so; the other is the spiritual sense which pertains to emotion and feeling - this latter definition has nothing to do with spirits.
And Sam Harris doesn't talk about the former example - he doesn't obviously believe in it.
It reminds me of when a person says 'soul.' You have the religious definition, which is a 'ghost', simply. The other just means the core of your being, but that wouldn't be accurate - we all seem to know what is meant by the secular sense of 'soul.'
They're two completely different things.
