    I still haven’t figured out what ‘spirituality’ is supposed to mean. It’s a word used in so many vague, fuzzy, and often contradictory ways that it seems to be basically meaningless. Mostly it seems it’s used as a rough synonym for ‘emotion’, usually the emotions of awe and wonder. So sure, I agree that healthy emotions are good for our mental health. That is unsurprising.
