I would say in some ways I think of spirituality in a similar way that I think of consciousness....  When I say spiritual person I mean something similar to "consciously aware person."  When I think of "spirits" I think of energy with consciousness attached (whether that energy is a physical body or a more subtle non-physical or less physical body).  I wouldnt say I see the two exactly the same, but then again, maybe I do....  I'd have to think about that for a while...  I think they are at least similar in my head and the way I think about them though...
