#CarlSagan eloquently put it:

'When we recognize our place in an immensity of light-years and in the passage of ages, when we grasp the intricacy, beauty, and subtlety of life, then that soaring feeling, that sense of elation and humility combined, is surely spiritual.'
For some humanists, the word 'spiritual' is contentious, immediately bringing to mind beliefs and practices that seem at odds with a humanist worldview.

But must we really cede the entire territory of 'spirituality' to the supernatural? I don't believe so. andrewcopson.com/2022/03/huma...
