And we need things that spirituality can offer, and materialism (capitalism) has nearly robbed us of it.
No, we don’t. Capitalism and materialism are issues. Do not pretend the spiritualism is unproblematic by itself, encouraging pseudoscience. Faith and spiritualistic thinking can and frequently are problematic.
People will always seek to understand the world and find meaning. it’s not something you can dismiss as irrelevant. If the concern is pseudoscience, the answer isn’t rejection but discernment. Buddhist philosophy and cognitive science, for instance, offer frameworks that are both rigorous and open to examination. Worth considering before reducing the conversation to absolutes.
Feel free to criticize nonduality, which is my spiritual view. If you are sufficiently familiar with Buddhism (Zen or Dzogchen), you should have enough information to go on.

I didn’t dismiss it as irrelevant and I didn’t use absolutes. You are glazing the hell out of Buddhists though
