spirituality without belief in a soul or a god or gods is not spirituality. it is pure superstition, which is stupid as fuck too.

It appears that you have a confused notion of the body/mind relationship. The mind and soul in most philosophy are one in the same. In existentialism, there is a concept called "transcendence" (I would like to expand on an existential defense of spirituality, but that's too large for here).
You may not believe in the soul (I'm not convinced of it's existence either) but surely you believe that the mind exists. The mind desires spirituality. The mind not in body but of body requires spirituality, as well. Have you never gone to a requiem and not felt the weight?
