I truly admit to being an atheist in a religious sense therefore I can't be "spiritual" as somehow that has a religious tone to it. I believe we as humans are just another form of animals that evolved on this planet, we have larger brains than most and with that our species has grown to fear death and we don't want to admit when were dead there is nothing..we are just another dead animal in the cycle of life.
To me a perfect world would be to people to stop fearing death and living life and enjoying life around them, religion and it's fears has destroyed this IMO.

Yeah, spiritual isn't the right word - it sounds like I worship Gaia or some nature religion, which isn't what I meant. Like I said I think there is more than just our flesh and blood, and that our consciousness is more than the byproduct of chemical reactions in our brain. While I haven't experienced such things, I am inclined to not dismiss people who have had out of body experiences, have seen ghosts or have had some sort 'supernatural' experience. If real, I think those are natural phenomena we don't understand yet, possibly operating at some level outside the physical world. I do not need to create a deity to explain this.
