Spirit is like God, but not as a "someone, somewhere"... spirit is what all of us and all things are... all are One.
"Spirituality" therefore refers to being aware of oneness. Beliefs play no part, they just get in the way.
A true "born again" has died while alive. Separate self is erased, allowing them to perceive in a new way...
Hardly any person alive today realizes what they are. Spirituality, then, is the quest to answer this question.

Same as the dictionary definition of spiritual: concerned with or affecting the spirit or soul; "a spiritual approach to life"; "spiritual fulfillment"; "spiritual values"; "unearthly love"

They can be spiritual in a pragmatic way. Cleansing the soul and body with meditation. Being religious and being spiritual are two different things.

Yes, I think so. Some believe in a soul and an afterlife. I guess they can believe whatever feels right for them.
