You can certainly retain spirituality no matter how science-oriented, agnostic, atheistic, or whatever you are. You just have to be willing to discard doctrine crapola your "faith of upbringing" is carting along with it.

"If science proves some belief of Buddhism wrong, then Buddhism will have to change. In my view, science and Buddhism share a search for the truth and for understanding reality. By learning from science about aspects of reality where its understanding may be more advanced, I believe that Buddhism enriches its own worldview." - Dalai Lama.
