I follow my own spiritual path, but you know what.. I also use quantum physics, and other sciences to guide me on my path. Science and spirituality can actually blend quite nicely. Spirituality doesn't exactly equal belief in higher power. I don't think there is really any reason why one can't use science, logic and emotion together.

Sounds like I have a similar upbringing to you. You can PM me anytime if you want to talk about, I am very open about spirituality.. and I am open to ideas too.
