I would say we all commune with our spirituality through music.  What Roman describes as the reproduction of sound without an emotional component sounds more like a description of the study of acoustics more than a way of talking about music.

Yes, music has been a big aspect of the devotional part of spirituality throughout the ages, from the ragas of India to the chorals of Byrd.  I would say that music can be a component of one's spirituality without being religious or inspiring one to proselytize. 

It simply brings peace, joy, and happiness.  Why else would we all devote so much time to our stereo systems if it was not a joyous experience for us?  This is something I thought Romy would agree with since he so often derides the audio-morons who have lost their way and seek only the statistics, THD, and measurements, all the while with the horrible soulless squawking of terrible sounding components.
