Quoting that site:
"He seeks to know himself and his fellow man rather than to know a god. An Atheist believes that a hospital should be built instead of a church. An Atheist believes that a deed must be done instead of a prayer said. An Atheist strives for involvement in life and not escape into death. He wants disease conquered, poverty vanquished, war eliminated. He wants man to understand and love man.

He wants an ethical way of life. He believes that we cannot rely on a god or channel action into prayer nor hope for an end of troubles in a hereafter.

He believes that we are our brother's keepers; and are keepers of our own lives; that we are responsible persons and the job is here and the time is now.”

I'd say this is pretty "spiritual", to be pro-active with regards to care for each other, the planet, and wanting to do things for the betterment of all versus praying for Jesus to take care of it.
That is what I consider spirituality, and some Christians have that too.
