I too am an atheist, and as such, do not belief in a god. I don't think that means I am not "spiritual", whatever that may be...

Which leads to the obvious question: what is "spiritual" anyway?

Dictionary.com gives a list of vague descriptions, but none of them really make a lot of sense to me. Most of them seem to focus on religion and belief in a god. So in that sense I'm not spiritual. On the other hand, how could I ever be spiritual if that has anything to do with a religion/god I do not belief in? And if spirituality is so closely related to religious, I don't see what I could be missing...

Perhaps I'm simply incapable of understanding how anyone could possibly belief in a god. I just don't get that whole mind-set - to me, it's akin to someone believing in the tooth fairy or Santa Claus.

FYI.
