If I'm not misrepresenting him, what Sam Harris means by spirituality is what a monk finds in deep meditation. I will confess that I've only just begun studying the physiology of meditation, but that just strikes me as wrong, and largely a product of Eastern wisdom envy. It sounds suspiciously uninformed by his neuroscience, and listening to him talk, I suspect it's not so informed. I suspect he has non-overlapping magisteria in his thinking on such subjects.
