Atheism liberated me from pointless thinking,and made my life enjoyable.

But if there was nothing in human experience to answer to 'spiritual' I don't think it would be so popular. I think Tonus is right that it is emotional or perhaps a feeling/intuitive matter. Certainly it has not got much to do with reason.

I can agree that what the word signifies has no attraction for me either without insisting dogmatically that it can have no value for anyone as an objective fact. I wonder if you have the same reaction to the word "mystery"?

Because you don't posses spirituality, you've decided there's no such thing. Billions of people are spiritual, but to you they're either lying or misinterpreting the experience. It goes like this: "Yes. I am spiritual." "No, your not spiritual, liar." "Yes, I experience it daily." "No. Sorry, but what you're experiencing is not spirituality." "But I have a relationship with God." "No you don't. There is no God, so you can't have a relationship with someone who doesn't exist."

You've misunderstood. I've argued that there is something within or about people which leaves room for 'spirituality'. But I still think it is usually not well understood by those most enthusiastic about it.
