I think by substituting 'Humanism' in there reflects how one can meditate without attributing that to a 'spirit' world, in the religious sense. It fits completely within reality.
Like it or not, spiritual invokes thought of spirits and beliefs, not of any secular thinking.
A lot of people say spiritual meaning what we both have in mind: the transcendental feelings which all humans share. It's just the progress of language, which has made the word acquire a different meaning.
