Maybe it just means that for a lot of people, spirituality is the meaning of their lives, nothing more or nothing less. One persons spirtual beliefs does not mean someone elses non belief does not hold meaning for them.

I don't mind if they assume it is about religion as far as THEY are concerned. What I do not like, what really YANKS my chain is when they (and you KNOW who you are) presume it has to be the meaning of life for the rest of us. I do not presume to think that MY way is for everyone. It is just dandy for me- most excellent actually. But I am me. I am unique. I flatter myself with the opinion that I am more unique than most (some would say odd, but we'll leave that alone- OK?) Anyway, my way is my way and I wouldn't force it on anyone. I would tell people about it, if they asked. This thread seemed to be an open question. So there you are- that is how I feel.
