    It could be possible for someone who does not believe in a divine being (aka atheist) to be a spiritual person, everyone who is religious is to some degree spiritual but not all spiritual people are religious.

    Yes. I love Carl Sagan's 'The Cosmos'. He's an athiest, but he can get very spiritual when he talks about the Earth and the Universe.

    hi,

    I think the article in about.com will help you to give a insight to your topic of discussion:

    http://atheism.about.com/od/philosophyepistemology...

    It depends on person to person,and his beliefs & choices he make in his life on the basis of facts, figures and knowledge.

    As one of the saying by Leonard Nimoy" I'm touched by the idea that when we do things that are useful and helpful - collecting these shards of spirituality - that we may be helping to bring about a healing."

    So as far as we are not hurting someone feelings on the basis of spirituality or religion,we have freedom to practice any religious saying or spirituality ideologies,

    In my opinion, everybody is Spiritual wether they're Atheist or not. Im not Atheist, but knowing that everybody has a soul, Id think we are all Spiritual.

    Blessed be!!!!

  • It's atheist, and some are. Atheists just don't believe in God, it doesn't mean they can't be spiritual. The Dalai Lama does not believe in God, but I don't think anyone would say he is not spiritual.

    Some are spiritual. I am a weak atheist who believe spirits and souls. But there are some who don't.

    There are such things as spiritual atheists. There arent many of them, though.
