If you use some vague, nebulous and essentially meaningless definition of the word "spiritual," then, yes, I suppose an atheist could be called "spiritual." But it looks like a silly word game to me.
Spirituality has always been vaguely defined. It simply deals with the "spirit." This does not mean god(s).

There are many spiritual atheists. Entire religions have been formed around spiritual atheism (Theravada Buddhism, for example).

It would be very ignorant to imply that atheists cannot be spiritual.
