I think I could get on board with a very liberal definition of the word spirituality.
I would call the heightened feeling of awe I get when I look at the stars, or the connectedness I feel when I'm with a woman, or the thrill I get when I fly a plane in some sense spirituality. It's all a chemical process in my brain that makes me feel euphoric or part of something or excited.
I guess it's all in how you define the word. I don't necessarily feel like my atheism is challenged by the connotation of a word like spirituality.

"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
