My understanding, you might believe in some continued life after death, something about human souls, any sort of supernatural things, but not believe in a personified interacting deity who gave humans orders like worship me, do this/that etc., nor be a deist who thinks there is such a being but doesn’t give orders for some reason.
Okay. Good thing I submitted “Atheist and not spiritual”, then!
I guess that makes sense. When I hear “Atheist but spiritual” my first response tends to be “Sure, I would appreciate songs and rituals about the wonders of science and the awe-inspiring nature of the universe. That’s spirituality, right?”—and my first response tends not to be “Oh, right, I guess there technically could be people who believe in supernatural stuff that’s not gods.” Perhaps because I tend to forget such beliefs exist...
