Good question. I'm not sure.
I guess I've been associating spirituality with unselfishness, but maybe there are different kinds of spirit.
Could you make an argument (even for the sake of argument) as to why those things are spiritual?
I think it's an open question that interrogates what we mean by spirituality. There are many Randian objectivists for whom Rand's system is religious dogma.
If one doesn't like those, then what about Scientology. It seems the ostensible goal of Scientology is to fine-tune the mind / spirit for optimum flourishing. Stated that way, what is the goal of unselfish spiritualities?
