I do not distinguish between spiritual and secular. Washing dishes can be a spiritual exercise
That's true for me as well. Ideally everything I do will become a manifestation of love. So if I wash dishes with love, it's part of my spiritual path.

Yet you apparently believe that Noah lived for 950 years - and the others doing similar? You have abandoned critical thinking here and simply trusted in a religious text as to being factual, in my view.I reject material philosophies, but not "critical thinking".
If anything was to replace or dramatically affect my ability to reason and apply critical thinking, so as to plump for what appeals to me instead, then I doubt I would be better off with whatever did that. Hence no such religious beliefs to effect this. Given that is what tends to happen - and so many examples here on RF.My spiritual beliefs is the most important in my life.

Very important though I ashamedly admit I don’t necessarily practice it the way I’d like. Though in our beliefs just wanting to pleases God. He’s pretty chill that way.

I think that might well be true for a lot of people .. but it does not follow that that is the underlying reason for their belief.I am not even saying that critical thinkers must embrace materialist philosophies. What I am saying is that if something is deeply important to you, to the point the meaning of your life relies on it, you will do whatever it takes to preserve it. You won't want to think critically about it.
My spiritual understandings are my life. They inform and determine what I do and what I'm striving to become..
I'll steal a thought from @Quintessence here. The actions that reflect my spirituality are very important. Other than the core beliefs like a belief in God, what I do is more important. As an example, a person makes a flower mala, goes to temple to give the mala to God, then sits and sings songs of praise, then meditates, and while leaving deposits some money in the anonymous donation box. All of these are actions, and could be done by a wide variety of Hindus, or other folks, whose worship is anything similar. One would not know their belief unless an intellectual discussion occurred.My spiritual beliefs is the most important in my life. I could not live without my spiritual beliefs.
