The problem with this is that you have, by stating that your discussion of spiritual matters is somewhat based in the realm of quantum mechanics, introduced an inconsistency into your own reasoning.
Obviously nobody expects you to discuss matters of spirituality in strict adherence to the scientific method. However, they might reasonably expect anything based on quantum mechanics to be commensurate with, and
only with, the rational and/or mathematical predictions which that discipline makes.
Conversations like "which is more likely? That this woman has woefully mis-identified the symptoms of a neurological disorder, or that she sees supernatural beings from the imagination"?

Of course, there have been thousands of testimonial accounts in history that have supposedly contacted the spirit world. But if you're not involved in spiritual matters, maybe you shouldn't be engaged in any of this discussion.

"Agree or be quiet" negates the need for discussion really, doesn't it?

The majority of people in the world engage in spirituality, I thought.

Yes, and as nice as they are many of them wish to murder each other. Although it does rather depend on what sort of spirituality you are talking about, because it's a very vague term.
