I have been described as the least spiritual person various people have ever met. I think that's accurate. I just don't have a spiritual side.
Some people have treated me less than excellently as a result, with the notable exception of Buddhists (I immigrated to a predominantly Buddhist country).
I don't believe any of their stuff, I find a lot of it superficial and against the core principles they preach... and they don't seem to mind at all. I don't have to hide what I think -- I'm also free to discuss these matters (politely). Even with the monks.
Anyway, I'm a practical person. When the floods come, we fill sandbags together. I'm OK to volunteer at their events, and so on. The support is mutual and practical in nature.
