In my experience, there are two types of atheists: those with zero interest in the spiritual, and those who are but are terrified of the implications. I think a lot of us who were in the first category have experiences which convince us there's more to it; I know that's what happened to me!
I agree with you. There's also the issue of many so-called spiritual people being given over to total lunacy and/or hypocrisy. Joel Osteen springs to mind. If he's in contact with any form of spirit, I'm going to make an educated guess that it is a demon or the underling of a demon.
For me, spiritual experiences were always there, except I was blind to them. Mass media had me programmed to discount those subtle modes of thought as "not real" or all in my head.
