Of the two, mine would be more evidenced and make fewer assumptions. I hereby redefine spirit as the chemical process otherwise known in living organisms as metabolism. -Off to publish his paper-
I think that's a great idea.
You'll have a spirit that cannot be denied by anyone.
The ultimate spirituality.
You could even name it Rhythmism and start your own religion if you wanted to. I guarantee that you could make a bundle just writing books on it. Followers would magically seem to pop into existence from nowhere.
Seriously. Just look at how successful Pastafarianism became? Or whatever they call that spaghetti God.
Christian - A moron who believes that an all-benevolent God can simultaneously be a hateful jealous male-chauvinistic pig.
Wiccan - The epitome of cerebral evolution having mastered the magical powers of the universe and is in eternal harmony with the mind of God.
Atheist - An ill-defined term that means something different to everyone who uses it.

Luke 23:34 Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do.
Clearly Jesus (a fictitious character or otherwise) will forgive people if they merely know not what they do
For the Bible Tells us so!
