Spirituality means many different things (Music, Art, Movies etc...) I found my fufillment in making movies (and all things production). Where do you get yours?
Show Christians you don't need "Jesus" to live good fufilling lives.

I use the word "Spirituality" to just give it a word.
Perhaps not the best word...i apologize ...also easier for Christians to draw a parallel (their term)

True spirituality is a thing of joy and of the earth, and has nothing to do with fake adult dignity. It has nothing to do with long words and sorrowful faces. It has to do with the dance of consciousness that is within you, and with the sense of spiritual adventure that is in your hearts......your vitality is not dependent upon a physical image. It is not dependent upon your youth, it is not dependent upon your body. It rings and sings through the universe, and through your entire personality. It is a sense of joy that makes all creativity possible. So do not think you are being spiritual when you are being long-faced, and do not think you are being spiritual when you berate yourself for your sins. The seasons within your system come and go. The sun falls on your face whether you think you are a sinner or a saint. The vitality of the universe is creativity and joy and love, and that is spirituality...Seth Speaks, by Jane Roberts.

I'm an agnostic. I find energy therapies quite interesting they seem kinda spiritual. I been using a therapy called Emotional Freedom Technique which is tapping on your meridian points why tuned into a bad thought, memory that gives you bad emotions after doing some tapping you can reduce that bad emotion or clear it completely from the bad memory. Which has helped a lot with my anxiety depression and I feel lot better than I did. I been learning little bit about other energy healing therapies. A friend of mine showed me a movie about the law of attraction and how your thoughts become your reality. If you visualize something believe it will happen then it will happen but if don't believe it a happen it won't. I kinda starting to get a little bit more convinced about it, as I have noticed that things do seem to become my reality sometimes. I'm bit skeptical but open to trying all sorts of things, although I have noticed some things do become my reality, starting to believe a little bit. Also my friend told me if you think positive your thoughts will attract positive things. It's very interesting.

I'm a humanities major, but I love science - elegant universe, Nova orgins type stuff. Knowing some profound facts like ithe milky way will collide with another galaxy, of all the atoms that were in my body as a child are now gone and replaced by another set of atoms, the almost everything, including matter is empty space, that we have iron in our blood and the same iron that we mine out of the ground to erect skyscrapers came form the same star explosion billions of years ago.
Also, music, U2 concerts are the closet thing I have evre expereinced to a "real" spiritual/church expereince (despite attending church 10 years), Langston Hughes's and Sylvia Plath's poetry, geneology,mountain biking, the ocean, sailing, good literature and visceral drama and film.
If I could synthesize spirituality, my experiences above would probably mirror that of many Christians.

The love of my parents, my friends, my wife.
That's all I need. That's something I feel that isn't tangible. Something spiritual. Jesus is one of my idols though. I am Atheist but nothing beats giving your life and body to a cause... to have that much faith in something. I envy him. But I do not believe in his resurrection or the other stories in the Bible. His hope was to make a better future for the next generation. I have faith and love in the human potential. The great things that people can do. Susan B. Anthony, Albert Einstein, George Washington, Theodore Roosevelt Benjamin Franklin, and Thomas Edison. Great minds, all Atheist.

My spirituality comes from a connection to life. I am fulfilled in raising my children, teaching them to respect and understand the universe through science and a scientific appreciation for the complexities we have yet to understand. I appreciate human intelligence more because I understand how amazing it is to come from such a place as the mix of chemicals our brains are. An appreciation I didn't have when I thought it was born of some kind of divine bit that was alien to this world. My connection to the earth, and universe grows with everything I learn and my spirit is fulfilled as my mind expands.

Work ,Music, Culinary Arts, Nature,Videos, Human relationships and (No Religion is very fulfilling as well) .Being neurosis free and free thinking both make me ecstatic as compared to when I was stupid enough to agrue the existence of the fantasy .Sorry for those that don't have my joy for the truth in this way. I don't intend to change anyone but just stand my spiritual ground.
So each to their own!

I don't think spirituality means music arts and movies. Spirituality means fluffiness and superstition and the thinly-veiled wish that death is not the end.
It's not for me. I have enough fun without it; I am a programmer, and a music lover, and I like playing games and hanging around with friends.

I get fulfillment from making clay creations and scrapbooking my son's life with photos. I also have a belief album that documents my spiritual journey and my life as an atheist. If god-folk can have Faith Books, I can have a belief album. :-) It really helps me understand who I am and what I believe and it will be there to help future generations know why I'm an athest.

My sense of fulfillment is not spiritual. It is natural. Saying it is spiritual indicates some kind of magic, and magic is not real. However, to answer your question, I am fulfilled by helping people, making music, fully experiencing emotions, turning chaos into order, and enjoying my life as much as possible.

I climb as much as my very prominent spot (usually with my dogs via my area), overlooking a river, meadow, and a few wetlands. I take a deep breath, and easily comprehend each little thing I see. That mountain? 2 tectonic plates pushing jointly. magnificent. The river? homes maximum of jaw-dropping kinds of existence. micro organism becoming on the rocks, the rocks that should be tens of millions of years previous, formed via historical geological activity. they are going to be sand sometime, wore down via the water that recirculates consistently. The fish! The predatory birds! My goodness, the bugs! lots existence. It almost throbs with the struggles and joys of day by day survival. i'm one with those creatures, because of the fact we as quickly as have been one. I sit down there, hugging my dogs, my loving, marvelous dogs, and wallow in my awe. If that may no longer spirituality, i don't be attentive to what's. So perhaps God did no longer make it. Does that make it any much less alluring? As Douglas Adams as quickly as suggested, "isn't it sufficient to work out that the backyard is alluring with out having to have self belief that there are fairies on the backside of it too?"
