14. More common ground
with many on the board who are treated with contempt because of different word or image choices. Here even invoking "Spinoza's God, Einstein's God," yourself in this instance when such comments would be shot down as "woo" elsewhere.

"f you wish to consider non-personified divinity, that would just be a synonym for the universe as it is, Spinoza's God, Einstein's God, a poetic thought meant to invoke a sense of awe and wonder that shouldn't be confused with religion and spirituality in the common sense of those words."

It doesn't help the disconnect when you apparently don't understand the meaning of "spirituality in the common sense of that word" and mistakenly react to it.

Spirituality is the definition of what you have described.
