Atheists shouldn't have trouble understanding the word, “spiritual” (this is always open to interpretation of course). I believe that the spirit is a fundamental part of the working brain. We all have that feeling of vulnerability when alone. Humans are pack animals, and generally our instincts tell us it is safer to be in groups than to be solitary.
This basic need filters through into the "deeper" need of a God or Holy Spirit, which allows the luxury of never being alone.

I believe Atheists understand that this need cannot be fulfilled, but the fact of understanding this fear in its self allows them to conquer their fear or at least control it.
