A Basic Definition of Spirituality (of True Faith)

Spirituality:
Ask 10 people about a definition and you get 20 different answers with 25 methods, none of which can be demonstrated to actually work.
Science on the other hand is when someone give you a method. One that works. If you can apply this method in a correct manner, you get to know Knowledge itself.

Meaningless drivel / navel gazing, indicative of "spirituality".

Being intellectual is like being king: If you have to tell everyone you are, then you most probably arent. The "title" is usually a result of others paying you appropriate respect, not by you proclaiming to be one.

How? Why? ...sniff...sniff... do i smell some kind of utilitarianism here? Do you care at all if belief in a higher intelligence is warranted? Do you even care if your belief(s) are true?
Do you think belief in vampires might be very helpful? Especially in times when people die for miraculous causes? They turn pale, become bedridden, without any energy and will to live. A wooden stake here or there might work wonders.

Do you think unwarranted beliefs like this are a net positive or net negative to the individual and society, aside from sometimes being life saving?
