All of us relate to things we cannot measure with our senses, things we cannot feel, touch, hear, see, smell...etc. the way humans deal with those things is their spirituality.

I never said hard science is spirituality. But one can use reason as their mode of spirituality...again by the referred to definition.

I am not making a religious argument here...that is something that I will not bring to a secular thread...my statement was one of definition and accepted implication by reason.

peace all
what i was responding to was your comment about "rationalism" being a belief system, along with religion.

Evidence and reason are what mark some beliefs out as being more valid.
