Spiritual Awakenings

This is kind of similar to the question I asked in my Meditation and Yoga thread.. But I want to learn more about Atheism.

Is it possible to be a spiritual Atheist? If an Atheist has a 'spiritual awakening', how do they interpret the experience? or do you think the two are completely exclusive, and simply not a possibility?

The term 'God' has had an entire human history of religious and spiritual definitions, explanations, and theologies supporting, or defying the idea of a Supreme Being... So if you are a spiritual Atheist, I am also curious how you approach and/or define the Divine (i.e.. Sacred or Holy) within your life, and how you still retain your 'Atheist' status.

Any feedback will be appreciated. Thanks.
