Rational spiritual belief does not necessitate having to believe in a religious heaven or hell. Evidence is proof, something that shows what is true. Truth and evidence is also established by testifying, bearing witness, attesting, declaring under oath that what is testified to, is actuality. In a court of law, as in civil action, evidence is presented and the validity of this evidence is assessed by a judge or jury who rule on it; their decision is accepted and it is determined that proof has been established by a preponderance of the evidence.

Throughout several millennia testimonial evidence has been presented of spiritual interactions; this interaction was interpreted accordingly, often by preconditioned superstitious minds; hence you have various religions. It is up to us to determine truth when superstitions are removed. Rational belief in spirituality predetermines a healthy mind.

Einstein said, “God, seems to be an "intelligence" or "superior reasoning power" which was behind the laws and harmonies of the universe", and "Everyone who is seriously interested in the pursuit of science becomes convinced that a spirit is manifest in the laws of the universe—a spirit vastly superior to man, and one in the face of which our modest powers must feel humble."
