I believe that everyone has a Spiritual Identity that mixes with 4 other Identity Areas:

Cognitive Identity
Cultural Identity
Emotional Identity
Physical Identity

My definition of Spiritual Identity:

Spirit: Spiritual Identity

Spiritual Identity is your personal perspective of your religious, ethical, and/or sacred beliefs.

Spirit is the animating force or source of vitality, energy, strength, and inner peace of within you. Everyone is born with a spirit; it is what gives you life. Some believe it is what guides you through life in the form of ethical, religious, or spiritual beliefs, while others see it as the electrical charge that maintains our nervous systems. Spiritual Identity is your personal perspective of your religious, ethical, and/or sacred beliefs. This book looks at spirituality from four perspectives: religion, beliefs, spirit, and ethics. Ethics are a personal doctrine of what is right, just, and good when relating to others. Core beliefs are guiding principles for what your origin, purpose, meaning, and place is in the world. Religion is set of beliefs, values, and practices based on the teachings of a spiritual leader. You may find your spirituality drawing to one or all four perspectives. The importance is for you to connect to your spiritual self and draw from the energy that gives you life.
