More or less, yeah.

I just don't understand "I'm an atheist! But spiritually I _____."

It's just incongruous. Do they not want to be theist that bad? If you're spiritual, you aren't atheist. You can certainly respect spirituality, even think it's neat, while being an atheist (see: most university Religion departments), but I'm not sure how you can be "spiritual" but atheist.

It's like those women who are dead set against ever being defined as a feminist but have beliefs that are wholly in line with classical feminism. They've got the right to identify as whatever they want but it looks funny.

Not even wrong.

> ... but I'm not sure how you can be "spiritual" but atheist.

Simple, atheism != physicalism. And spirituality != supernaturalism.

For example, it's entirely consistent to say that karma exists, and karma also applies to gods. I'm also about halfway through David Abram's work on phenomenological animism. I should probably add the just published Dworkin on my reading list.

...I'm gonna assume you meant Dawkins, not Dworkin, as one of those people just published a book and the other one died several years ago.

Ronald Dworkin, died Feburary 13, 1913. Book due out next month, although reviews are currently hitting my news feeds.
