Question Spirituality the root of all evil?

Had an insight, shoot some holes in it...

A definition of spiritual [for the purpose of this post]: using terms that are fuzzy and not well defined yet.
A definition of science: the terms have been tested against reality very accurately and have been strongly defined.

Spirituality is necessary before you can do science.

Spirituality is your best guess before you can back it up with science.

Spirituality is faith that a concept works before you know how to tie it to reality, spirituality becomes science once it is backed up with reality.

Spirituality is the root of all evil : evil as in not seeking the truth (using fuzzy terms) and backing it up with reality.

Therefore spirituality is the root of all evil and the path to goodness and truth.

I refuse to define faith, good, evil, root, truth, and path, so this is a Spiritual insight. For example, Here's some arbitrary definitions of good, evil, root, spirituality, science , truth, path.

But it might be a useful insight since we have a subconcious intuition belief in our brains for those words.

Conclusion? Probably made several times before, but Spirituality and Science are not really in conflict, in fact they compliment and need each other.
