Get the spiritualitis mug.1. Belief in the spirit, soul, often as it relates to religious, sacred, or otherwise noncorporeal matters. A little metaphysics and philosophy are peripherally related as well, as its purpose is to give us perspective on life and what to do with it.
2. The application of any sort of philosophy, however defined, regardless of whether the person in question has any spiritual beliefs or not. This use of the word is so vague that it can be redefined to mean anything, even something that is completely materialistic.

I'm sorry, "belief in the laws of science" is not spirituality. "Realising your own inner divinity" is not spirituality. "Being nice to people" is not spirituality. If you have no spiritual beliefs, you are not spiritual, simple as that.
Of course, one shouldn't be afraid to call oneself and atheist or agnostic. It doesn't mean you are shallow, immoral, closed-minded, intellectually dishonest, or anything of that sort.

Get the spirituality mug.People who still want the mental crutch of Religion, but want to be as vague as possible about it so its harder to argue with their bullshit. These people generally lack the ability to form coherent logical arguments, struggle to think carefully and deeply about subjects and don't like the rules and restrictions imposed by Religion. Their position is so vague as to become difficult to argue against, allowing them to not only benefit from the mental crutch that usually is attached to religion, but hold a smug air of superiority that will piss off any reasonable critical thinker no end.
Bill: "What do you believe in?"
Jill: "I'm spiritual."
Bill: "So what does that even mean? Do you believe in spirits? Religion? God? Faries? Science? How does spirituality even have an application in your life?"
Jill: "No, I don't believe in religions, look how harmful they are to the world, I am spiritual."
Bill: "So basically, you hiding behind a wall of vague bullshit and feeling comforted by your mental crutch?"
Jill: "Once you in touch with your spiritual side, you'll understand."
Bill: "Once you stop being vague and full of bullshit, we can actually have an intelligent discussion".

Get the Spirituality mug.Spiritualicism, also Spiriticism, is a philosophy and ideology that advocates the massive search and research for spiritual beings and spiritual existence, this may includes massive investments on Techno-Agnosticism, Techno-Theism, Techno-Spiritualism, Scientific Deism, Extraphysicism, Divinialism and the adoption of policies for massive spiritualization of the masses and transition to a spiritualist society. Spiritualicism also advocates science should try its best to study about spiritual and extraphysical issues with all their efforts, such as they search for extraterrestrials, and it even advocates that xenos probably exist at spiritual level, making the search for spiritual issues more necessary and practical, even advocating colonization of spiritual worlds and turning all human beings into materialized spiritual beings as happens on extraphysicism and divinialism. Spiritualicism also opposes scientific atheism, neo-atheism, materialism, skepticism and nihilism.
"Spiritualicism is usually non-quadrant and usually has no political leanings, it is more about the technological idea of the search for spiritual beings and life, spiritualicism might be left leaning sometimes due to the ideas of Bioequalism and Extraterrestrialism. Spiritualicism is considered as the spiritual version of Galacticism."

Get the Spiritualicism mug.Umbrella term for non-specific belief system held by people who like to re-interpret their intellectual undernourishment as meaning they are instead party to some special secret or higher knowledge, moral outlook, belief system or behaviour than other people en masse. Often found positioned very close in the psyche of such holders close to other faintly grasped terms like "enlightenment", "awareness", "ignorance", "confusion", "awakened" and "delusion" what makes such people so maddening is their collective conviction that they posses all these attributes in abundance, whilst in practice displaying considerably less of each than the self-same people they claim these qualities make them superior than.

Get the Spirituality mug.Spiritualicide is the same as Spiriticide, the term used to refer to the genocide of spiritual people and spirituality itself being done by scientism, materialism, physicalism, naturalism, new atheism, anti-theism, psychiatrism and skepticism. Believing that there's a spiritualicide happening nowadays, called as "21st Century Spiritualicide" and happenin in the West and China, being made by anti-theists, state atheists, new atheists, materialists, physicalists, scientistics and awtokists who wants to "refute" and "kill" spirituality, religion, astrality, supernaturality and extraphysics and, eventually, force spiritual people to give up their spirituality and force religious people to give up their religion and the ones who deny it will be send to psychiatric hospitals/camps to be "cured", and they also believe that the spiritualiciders are slowly subverting the spiritual communities worldwide to accept the spiriticide without resistance and struggle.
"The idea of the 21st Spiritualicide or Spiriticide is similar to the idea of Holocaust, Holodomor and Uyghur Genocide... Even there are several evidences that point out it's really happening, some people still deny it's happening or do literally the same as people do with the Uyghur Genocide on China."
"Maybe in 10 or 20 years from now, if the spiritual people and religious people manage to overcome the spiritualicide, the concept of spiritualicide will just become like the concept of holocaust, holodomor and Uyghur genocide."
