Since atheists don't believe in God, does that mean they don't acknowledge any kind of spirituality either?

No. Most atheists do not, but a few do, including me.

Personally, I don't believe in anything spiritual or supernatural. There is just no evidence that such things exist. I used to believe when I was little, and I wanted to believe when I was older, but now I accept reality for what it is.
But the word "atheist" in a strict sense, applies only to "god". Nothing else. It is possible, although I question the intelligence of it, to be an atheist and believe in ghosts, etc.

Not necessarily-I'm both Atheist & Buddhist, whereas I don't believe in a deity, but I do incorporate some of the pacifistic teachings of Buddhism into my life.

If the sentience of a person must be called a spirit, it would be silly for any sentient atheist to deny his or her own spirit's existence.

I don't. But that's me. Many do. But that's ok, since spirituality doesn't have anything to do with any particular god. Much less yours.
