5. All the new versions of "spirituality" too !?

Spirituality has big problems. So I dont support it.

But at its best, or in its most self flattering description, it supported generosity, tolerance, etc.. Which seem like useful qualities.

Granted, religion seldom if ever managed to be that good, overall.

But in any case, how would we teach those sought-after and possibly still-useful qualities; of generosity, etc ?

I guess the better, atheist replacement would be 1) rationality and 2) maturity.

We could also note that 3) secular liberalism also seems to be fair and generous and so forth.

So we could argue that secularism, atheism, aims at some the few if any good things spirituality aimed at. And does them better
