As a psychologist/atheist I really don't buy into anything "spiritual".

But I do believe there may be unexplored potential in the human mind.
I reject your reality and substitute my own!

"No thanks, Turkish. I'm sweet already."

I'd probably return to Hinduism. Or maybe become a Bah'ai, but they have some really weird beliefs.

No, actually I think I'd become a unitarian universalist since they're creedless.

Bah'ai believers can't have sex before marriage, don't do that - I mean, it's just so puritanist.

I'm not having sex now, so, no change there.

If I believe in something I would want it to tally with reality.

Why I want I want to believe in something just because the dogma is alluring?

I'm happy with my spirituality as a humble understanding of my tiny place in a huge universe, and don't need any claptrap tacked onto it.

Buddhism. I find meditation and quiet introspection to be useful, and the idea of internal balance is appealing.
