You theists aren't very good at thinking outside the box. :)

"Secular spirituality" reflects a paradigm that has long existed, but hasn't
been commonly named. I would suggest, by your flapping, that it's the
perfect name. Whilst I don't think there's any worthwhile evidence for the
existence of "spirit" as you might like, secular spirituality is a handy
collective term for some perfectly secular notions about human behaviour,
emotions, and creativity.

As for quoting the dictionary, Pottsie, well that's rather disappointing.
Dawkins is, after all, a Fellow of the Royal Society for Literature. He's
also one of the most noted authors for his use of concise and accurate
language. In other words, I think he has the edge on you (no offence).
Language evolves, and "secular spiritiuality", in our increasingly
non-religious world, is absolutely appropriate for the current mood. It
also, as a funny coincidence, highlights the increasing irrelevance of
religious thought to people's lives. Be it for guidance, understanding where
we came from, support, or marking the events of our lives, our notions of
spirituality are forever changed.

Dawkins is right on the pulse of this, your ideas on spirituality are
increasingly out-moded. Whilst dictionaries can easily be updated to reflect
the zeitgeist, are you too closed-minded?
