I love Sam Harris who unfortunately calls himself a "spiritual atheist", and it makes me cringe that he is attempting to adapt theistic language to compete with theism. Just call it what it is "a sense of awe". No need to conflate reality to wooish standards.

Why would it make you cringe? It is a person using language to the best of their ability to define themselves. Personally "sense of awe" doesn't cut it. I also think wooish is the point.
