Man created language in order to communicate. There is no meaning outside language. Therefore there is no why, no reason and no meaning.
We exist therefore we are. We are born to survive and to procreate.
Spirituality, I would argue, is man's attempt to deal with his own consciousness. Understanding our mortality created God in order to console ourselves with the idea of an afterlife.

Undeniably true
“There is no meaning outside language. Therefore there is no why, no reason and no meaning.“
Cannot agree with these constrained definitions of ‘reason’ and ‘meaning’, communication via language is the tip of the communication iceberg.
“We exist therefore we are. We are born to survive and to procreate. “
Certainly the most likely explanation from our perspective but it does not preclude the possibility of a third party perspective for me.
“Spirituality, I would argue, is man's attempt to deal with his own consciousness. Understanding our mortality created God in order to console ourselves with the idea of an afterlife.“
I agree that spirituality is very likely to be an illusion / coping mechanism but there is still plenty of room for speculation IMO.
