Aside from religious texts, and perhaps also excluding religious music ~ and without worrying too much about how our definitions of the term spiritual might differ ~ what branches of the arts do you find most "spiritually uplifting" [or affecting or moving or likely to make you contemplative about the human condition]? Painting, Sculpture, Literature (fiction or poetry), Cinema, Music (which kinds), Theatre, Dance or whatever other branches of the arts I may have omitted.

I like to put underwear on my head and do an interpretive dance through a meadow by my house.

Sometimes I hire a violinist to accompany me.

Hoping you will eventually provide your own answers to this question.

For me, I think it would be visual arts and poetry, specifically the most prominent would be science-fiction illustrations and some Russian, Chinese, and Japanese poetry (in translation).

Seriously dude, you have no idea what it means to be supernatural.

You are mistaken. I understand what supernatural [or "to be supernatural"] means and I understand why people believe in supernatural causality.

OMG!

We're going to be up all night.

Sir, you can't possibly know what is supernatural since you deny it's existence.

You are mistaken. I am agnostic about its existence. And I do not subscribe to theist claims about it.

Music
I also find music to be the most spiritually uplifting or engrossing art form.

Particularly music that has a major element of improvisation going on, like some forms of jazz.

That's ok. I understand you are agnostic about the supernatural.

Nevertheless I am not.
