There Is No ‘Secular vs. Spiritual’ Side to Life
This is the way psychology often presents this. I think it began with
Freud with his (A) id, (B) ego, and (C) super-ego theory. At least Freud

‘super-ego,’ or the spirit. Other philosophies only recognized two
aspects of humanity: the ‘id’ or body, and the ‘ego’ or soul.
In the ‘super-ego’ we’re more able to live God’s way not just our way.
