1: No I don't have any reason to believe in a spirit. I have no proof or evidence. I also need none. I do not have to believe in a spirit to find the idea of one a beautiful idea. If something affects me deeply, I might say it touches my soul. Do I have to believe in something to enjoy things relating to, or affecting my spirit?
2: Humans sanctify things. We are the ones that claim an object, place or being has any power. However do I have to believe in religion to take part in religious ceremonies? I take part in religious ceremonies all the time. I enjoy them. I enjoy watching the people who devoutly believe get some peace from them. If I go to church, edit a friends sermon, go to a moon festival, do I have to believe to enjoy them?

oint 3 is very simple. I like understanding religious values. I concern myself with them.
4:My spiritual home is my happy place. It doesn't exist, but in my head. It is based on a real place that I felt a deep connection to. I think a spiritual home is a personal definition. It changes for each individual. Joined in spirit is what I consider a deep connection to a person.
5:I find all spiritual beings or phenomenon believable. I am not going to tell anyone they are wrong in their beliefs. It is a personal choice. I don't have any evidence for any spiritual beings or phenomenon. Believe happens in spite of evidence. I don't think believers require evidence. I don't believe in them either. However, I am not going to cast them aside. They might be able to be explained in a rational way, they might not. I don't think that is the point of believing in something. Also, Since when do all atheists think the same? Atheism is nothing more or less than denying god.
Your questions aren't too intrusive. I'm ok with answering as many as you have as long as it doesn't turn into
