There are invalid definitions for art, i.e. 'the definition is contrary
to all heuristic meaning'. The existence of invalid definitions for
'spirituality' has already been amply demonstrated in previous posts.
The absence of invalid definition is equivalent to the absence of all
definition. I think most of us would agree that 'spirituality' has very
little direct dependence with how well-lined one's pocketbook is.
[Indirect dependencies are another question....]

Materialism is not required for that conclusion.
