I'm not sure what spirituality means - I sometimes get a feeling when I'm in the presence of something beautiful, or looking up at the night sky, or just at random times of the day. Some people might describe it as God's spirit, Jesus, or being reborn, or the force of some communual mind or something. All I know is I just get a feeling (it feels a little like being in love) that I treasure. I think it's important, and I think many people miss out by disregarding that sense of wonder. If that's spirituality, then I'm all for it.
For that matter, I'm all for Church as well. A group of people getting together to try and attempt to experience that feeling communually is a good thing. It makes me sad when I'm alone and I can't share that feeling with someone else. Sure people are more easily swayed in their opinions, but no more than on TV commercials, the only difference is that they're more likely to be swayed towards local trash drives, or soup kitchen voulenteering etc - The only time when I have a problem is when people are asked to express bigotry or hated of others - which happens on TV just as much.
