Spirituality is in large part inextricably linked with religion, so to me it’s hardly surprising that discussion will result in disagreement.

Religion seems like such a parochial and conceptual wet blanket, though, even speaking as someone who never got off-planet.

If nobody took anything personally, would there be any need for religions? 😉

Yes, because we are talking about the source of divine revelation. There will always be a doctrine based around this sort of thing, and this doctrine will always be referred to as religion.

I'm not sure I have said your position is wrong, but where is the independent confirmation that divine revelation really has occurred?
