Can anyone explain to me what non-religious spirituality means, exactly?
It’s when you get high on magic mushrooms which allow you a glimpse of the True Authentic Spirituality of the Native People Who Live in Harmony with Nature and the Whole Cosmos.
On a bit more serious note, apparently a large majority of humans have a need for something… spiritual. Living in a world made entirely of atoms and nothing else (and when you die, you return to dust and that’s it) seems unsatisfying to them. If you kill religions you’re left with a large void which gets colonised by a variety of things, from totalitarian ideologies to new-age woo.

You need not be spiritual to find that unsatisfying.
Yes, but what you find to satisfy you often has the label ‘spiritual’ stuck on it.
