Well, I can't disprove the idea that a spiritual realm exists anymore than I believe it can be proved it does. There is no real standard to measure/test for it. So is there a metaphysical component to our universe? Perhaps but there is no way for me to find out if it is there.... hence why Carl Sagan's invisible dragon analogy works for me.
It is also why I define myself as Agnostic Atheist instead of straight atheist.... to avoid being pushed into a "So you don't REALLY know he doesn't exist" corner. It is really an irrelevant point if there is a undetectable/unverifiable spiritual realm. Deists/Agnostics/etc are fine because their belief in a higher power doesn't harm them or others.
A lot of other religions though.... yeah those can go.
