I don't look upon this as being or having anything to do with religion or indeed anything divine. It (the backdrop) belongs to the natural order of things. This invisible world is the source of all life's energy and is the driving force of the universe. It hides itself below the atom. It uses consciousness to achieve self-awareness.

So for me Spiritualism isn't a religion.

Yes, but your statement leaves open the question whether this invisible world beyond / behind our material world was created by a transcendant God, or not. If you believe that it was, that is a religious belief. If you don't, then it isn't.
