Just so you know, that feeling of your brain requiring spirituality to fill it is by no means universal.

It mostly is. Just that "spiritual" doesn't automatically mean something mythical like God. It can be politics, astrology, social justice, philosophy, etc.

Something that we think is very important to us and the World and bigger than us.

That is a very odd definition of “spiritual”

How do you define spirituality such that it includes politics?

Have you not noticed the fervor with which acolytes of each 'side' preach the gospel according to their respective messiah? One can easily see similarities between sports and politics and you can't see those between religion and politics?

I see dogmatism, I don't see religion. They're not the same thing.

Otherwise, you could say my religion is BBQ because I'm always telling my friends about a smoke I just did.

We all see what we want to see I suppose. I am not buying this line of argumentation.
