Reply To: Spiritual atheist.

One of the amazing things I’ve learned as I delve deeper into the sciences, and learn a very interdisciplinary approach to sustainable practices is the idea that we are all connected and that everything in the universe is connected. I find the cyclical nature of the universe very beautiful. I don’t define the wonder as spiritual because it has nothing to do with spirits. It’s the very essence of existence. To call it spiritual would put a religious spin on something much more amazing than anything any person could conjure up.

I think people can call themselves whatever they want and believe whatever they want. One thing I’ve found is that many people use the word spiritual as a catch all phrase. It’s rare to find people who actually ponder the meaning behind what it is they are saying.

I don’t consider myself a spiritual atheist. I think putting that sort of label on myself would be limiting. Science is really amazing, and there is plenty more to be discovered. Nothing needs a label of “spirituality” to be considered absolutely fucking amazing.
