I think it would be better to find a word other than “spiritual.” A word without the word “spirit” in it because it has religious overtones, being many cases a synonym for soul or ghost.

I often feel a sense of overwhelming wonder when I think about the universe, for example, or when I see some scene of astounding natural beauty, but I refrain from calling it spiritual because I’m an atheist.
