23. It seems strange to me.
The article seems to say that spirituality is there whether you need it or not. But I just can't buy that.

Spirituality provides no evidence of its existence and flunks the Occam's Razor test. Accepting the concept of spirituality is the same as accepting the concept of god because it requires that you waive the need for evidence as well as the reasonability test.

I suppose that an atheist can be spiritual because we all disbelieve for different reasons. But it seems strange to me that a person would dismiss the spirit called god and accept some other spirit.
