That's probably the easiest thing. Non religious spirituality has a huge audience in this day and age.

Perhaps it's the fallout from the hard new-atheist/new-antitheist preachers of a a decade ago.

It should not even be called spirituality ... just how to find our full potential. The word spirituality has a very bad history ... people fought wars over who is right/wrong.

I would like to disagree.

In a pure logical world nihilism would be one potential answer.

'full potential ' would mean something different than in a pure life positive mindset.

I would go so far to say that reaching the stars is secondary as long as others still suffer in their existense.

Spirituality starts for me were your thoughts don't have a logical root.

What's 'full potential'? Why is it relevant. Why would it be better than not being born?
