The inspiration that modern civilization is missing often comes from a psychological state resembling the Spiritual.  That modern quantum mechanics has already broached the seeming divide between Science and Spirit is now legion, beginning with the Einstein Podolsky Rosen gedanken experiment.  "God does not play dice with the universe."  When Arthur Koestler wrote about "The Great Chain of Being," he didn't know beans about Heisenberg or Galois mathematics, or Wheeler's alternate universes.  But he tapped into the hidden European tradition of the mystical, just another example of where inspiration comes from.

Some people interpret this state as Spiritual, though for the last few decades we're seeing physicists run screaming from their labs in a Eureka moment.  Like Alain Aspect's third experiment, where testing Bell's Inequalities confirmed quantum theory, but thereby also presupposed action at a distance.

As a species, we are moving very quickly away from religion, dead mumbo jumbo, toward a place where the Spiritual is confirmed by Science.
