Nope. We are only taught this at an early age.

We are only "spiritual" because we are aware of our mortality.
We dont know where we came from and we don't know where we're going and that scares people


Nice double false dichotomy (and question - begging and post hoc etc)

Since you'd rather downvote than support your fallacies :

Being taught something at a young age, on the one hand, and that "something" being true, in the other hand, are not mutually exclusive conditions. Make a better argument.

You define "spirituality" as "awareness of our own mortality," without addressing the OP's actual position. Merely redefining a term is not an argument. Try again.

The absence of first-hand knowledge about the details of the origins and eschatology of the material universe, and fear and anxiety regarding that lack of knowledge, is not an argument against a reality beyond the material universe we can theoretically observe.

Ironically, all of your positions actually support the OP's.

Nope. The statement stands on its own.

If the term is misdefined then it must be correctly stated to move in the accurate direction.

This absence causes fear which leads to spirituality as a blanket means of explaining the absence.
