https://www.pewforum.org/2012/10/09/nones-on-the-rise-religion/84% of "Nones" (Atheists, Agnostics, Nothing in Particular) say that they often or sometimes feel a deep connection with Nature and the Earth.
“Science is not only compatible with spirituality; it is a profound source of spirituality. When we recognize our place in an immensity of light‐years and in the passage of ages, when we grasp the intricacy, beauty, and subtlety of life, then that soaring feeling, that sense of elation and humility combined, is surely spiritual. So are our emotions in the presence of great art or music or literature, or acts of exemplary selfless courage such as those of Mohandas Gandhi or Martin Luther King, Jr. The notion that science and spirituality are somehow mutually exclusive does a disservice to both.”
― Carl Sagan, The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark

In the highest and most exalted way one can use that phrase. And so I bask in the majesty of the Cosmos. Given the chemistry and the nuclear physics of it all, not only are we in the Universe, the universe is in us. And I don't know any deeper spiritual feeling that what that brings upon me." Neil deGrasse Tyson
