health dangers of being spiritual without religion.

Meh
Spiritual... religious.... 6 of one half a dozen of the other. (I was going to say, tomato tomato.... but that doesn't work as well without the audio  )
I've always thought that people who claimed to be "spiritual" were merely trying to get away from the more absurd claims of "religion."
There is no evidence for "spirits," either. 
There is no evidence for free-will, morality, praise, value, worth, etc..might as well disbelieve in that too.

Yea, there is also no evidence for air, wind, oxygen, love. How about you think about what you just said

'You can have all the faith you want in spirits, and the afterlife, and heaven and hell, but when it comes to this world, don't be an idiot. Cause you can tell me you put your faith in God to put you through the day, but when it comes time to cross the road, I know you look both ways.' - Dr House “Young earth creationism is essentially the position that all of modern science, 90% of living scientists and 98% of living biologists, all major university biology departments, every major science journal, the American Academy of Sciences, and every major science organization in the world, are all wrong regarding the origins and development of life….but one particular tribe of uneducated, bronze aged, goat herders got it exactly right.” - Chuck Easttom "If my good friend Doctor Gasparri speaks badly of my mother, he can expect to get punched.....You cannot provoke. You cannot insult the faith of others. You cannot make fun of the faith of others. There is a limit." - Pope Francis on freedom of speech 
Correlation =/= Causation.
Could easily make the argument that those predisposed to mental health problems are also predisposed to be "spiritual" but have difficulties conforming to organized religion.

There is evidence for those things though. I might add, also, there is no evidence for a perpetual identity either. Might as well disbelieve in yourself as well.
