God is a particularly bad word for that term.

Not only is my life 100% godless, I try to be free of superstition of all kinds. (No Santa, no tooth fairy, no magic dreams, no esp, no ghosts, etc.)

Superstition, in my opinion, is mental clutter that obscures spirituality.

"I try to be free of superstition of all kinds."

Really? What's "spirituality" then?

Spirituality is a type of experience. No more superstitious a term than "happy" or "hungry" or "purple" or "curious".
