When you use the word "religious" loosely like this, broader than "supernatural spirituality", I've noticed that it tends to make a certain set of people quite cross with you. It seems to violate the dogma of some very religious (broad sense) people who reject supernatural spirituality and therefore reject being called religious narrow sense. These people respond poorly to being called religious. I think you're right. But it can be difficult to discuss the topic without either walking on eggshells or throwing caution to the wind and making people upset.
