Hmm …

… Godless spirituality for secularists - Philosophy and Life. (Hat tip, Dave Lull.)

… perhaps the nascent secular interest in spirituality marks a change. The task of redressing the imbalance is about nothing less than shifting mindsets, but when unexpected parties - like the RSA or self-conscious atheists - come out about spirituality, new connections become possible. Conversely, those who needed no persuading but find the s-word difficult must swallow their disdain and be prepared to treat the word as a placeholder for a society striving to revive these half-forgotten insights about what it is to be human.
I'm religious myself, and have my reservations about "spirituality," but Mark is right.
