We don't have a spirit. We're a sack of trillions of cells. I think science will reach to a point where we find that there is little validity to the concept of "free will". Our genes and the environment that we find ourselves in determines our choices. Beyond that, there isn't much else. Our general purpose seems similar to other animals - to survive and procreate (our ideas of love, our desire for companionship, and our pleasure centers - genitals -compel most of us to this end).

Religion can be used for good and bad just as ideologies can, and science too. I wouldn't spend too much time worrying about it.
