Spirituality does not necessarily mean Christianity. One doesn't even need a belief in a god to be spiritual.
I bash because I have to. Just like Christianity requires its followers to preach about it, my religion requires me to call Jesus a big fat poopyhead.

Bash what? The way God bashes homosexuals? I like to point out absurdities so Man can finally grow up.

Expressing what I consider the truth is never intended to bash but to awaken. your assumptiom of a pointless life is dismayingly
outside of the actual lifes of many without what I call the fake deity of superstition. to experience the awe and splendor of life itself it is better than any attempt I ever made to feel the impact of a god that was never there ....: I can't fake it , so I learned to live in reality instead.
peace out

The point of being spiritual? Maybe you need another word for the committed non-believer: moral? ethical? It's entirely possible to lead moral/ethical lives without belief in a higher power. Bllions of people are doing it as we read....

When the first man, Adam, deliberately disobeyed God's command, He said to him: "In the sweat of your face you will eat bread until you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken. For dust you are and to dust you will return." (Genesis 3:19) Where was Adam before Jehovah created him from the dust? Why, he was nowhere! He simply did not exist. So when Jehovah God said that Adam would "return to the ground," he meant that Adam would die and return to the elements in the ground. Adam would not cross over to the spirit realm. At death Adam would once again be nonexistent. His punishment was death—absence of life—not a transfer to another realm.—Romans 6:23.
What about others who have died? The condition of the dead is made clear at Ecclesiastes 9:5, 10, where we read: "The dead know nothing . . . There is no pursuit, no plan, no knowledge or intelligence, within the grave." (Moffatt) Death, therefore, is a state of nonexistence. The psalmist wrote that when a person dies, "his spirit goes out, he goes back to his ground; in that day his thoughts do perish."—Psalm 146:4.
How do you define a spiritual person? A person who knows and respects God's laws. Yes, heaven existed. It was here on earth as the Genesis says. God will restore heaven on earth.
"For everything there is an appointed time." (Ecclesiastes 3:1) When God's allotted time for permitting wickedness and suffering comes to its conclusion, then he will intervene in human affairs. He will bring an end to wickedness and suffering and will fulfill his original purpose to have the earth filled with a perfect, happy human family enjoying total peace and economic security amid Paradise conditions.
To appreciate what it means to be a “spiritual” person, it is helpful to understand the opposite term, “fleshly,” as used by the writer Paul. What does being “fleshly” mean? It means to be dominated by the flesh, that is, to have an earthly, worldly viewpoint. Such thinking is that of imperfect, fallen men; this is what has saturated this whole system. Fleshly men judge “by human standards.”—1 Cor. 9:8.
But, more importantly, what does it mean to be “spiritual men”? It means to think like God, whose thoughts are elevated above those of man. (Isa. 55:8, 9; Rom. 11:33) This thinking ability comes to those who listen to God’s spokesmen, particularly Jesus Christ, ‘the one who has explained Jehovah.’ (John 1:18) In the apostles of Jesus Christ we have an excellent example demonstrating how one can become truly spiritual. Let us briefly trace their spiritual development.
To start with, those that God gave to Jesus as apostles were all humble, hardworking and devoted men. These qualities made them receptive to Jesus’ teaching. After their selection some were in virtually constant attendance with him over a period of about two years. They saw his miracles, heard his discourses, drew on his strength, watched his manner of dealing with friend and foe, and observed his stand for right principles. As Peter was to say some years later: “We are witnesses of all the things he did.” (Acts 10:39; Mark 3:14) He taught them, too, that they should willingly express their belief to others.
It was this marvelous training that aided the apostles to become spiritual men. It imparted to them “the mind of Christ,” the feelings, temperament and views of Christ, so that they could judge things in his way, which is also Jehovah’s way. Spiritual men see things from “the standpoint of our God.”—1 Cor. 2:16; 1 Pet. 4:6; Jas. 1:27.

What has God or heaven got to do with spirituality, they are just religious artifacts... nothing more.

What are you talking about? If you're trying to claim that spirituality is limited to Christianity, then I'm sorry, but you're horribly, horribly mistaken.

Some people here just seem to attack people, you find out who they are fairly quickly, then just let them have their say & don't retaliate.
