(As i was writing this, and getting interupted, I see Margaret and Garinda have written again both mentioning spirituality in one way or another. To me spirituality has nothing to do with religion it is a knowing of the self and understanding how the elements that make up our-self can be completed by the others with whom we interact. It is a very personal human thing....as we progress in life we find those around us who compliment who we are and can make us our whole-selves.)

I really don't see how gaining comfort from a belief is selfish. Everyone has their own way of dealing with their mortality........some people do not even recognise their mortality.
Your view on spirituality coincides with much of my own feelings, but I would add in that spirituality recognises that there will be those who don't subscribe to values which you might hold dear...this in no way negates their value in your own life......it may even broaden your own horizons.
We do not need to be able to see America to know it exists.
