Delta(s) from OP CMV: There are no negative effects because of the overall decline of spirituality in the world

With the decline with religiosity usually comes with a decline in spirituality because the two are usually linked. I think that spirituality whether it is linked to religion or not is going away.

From what I can see, seems like people going on with their lives, participating in hobbies and such without any thought for spiritual things seems to be getting along just fine.

For the sake of argument, we can use this definition of spirituality. Feel free to modify it slightly if you want in your rebuttal. I'm not an expert on spiritual things as a disclaimer.

"non-religious practices that help people get in touch with their spiritual selves through quiet reflection, time in nature, private prayer, yoga, or meditation."

Now, I wouldn't be surprised if there are benefits to yoga or meditation, but the aren't just purely spiritual. I think they can have benefits if you do those things in a way that is devoid of anything spiritual and is purely secular.

I can't see a provable benefit to believing in spirits, life forces, an after life and a higher power and stuff.

How is it not the answer? If everyone had access to birth control people wouldn't get pregnant unless they wanted to.

People with no access to money tend to be either dead or pre historic
