The purpose of good spirituality is to provide tools that foster a sense of awe and wonder at the absolute magic of life.

I'm convinced that the purpose of good spirituality is not salvation of the individual self or the assurance of immortality or a sense of forgiveness.  Rather, spirituality is meant to provide tools - like various meditation practices - that foster a sense of awe and wonder at the absolute magic of life.  Good science, I believe, has the same function.
