Every person is religious

For others, such as atheists, this impulse manifests in different ways. I don't think this means every person is spiritual. It is possible to be "spiritual and religious" or "religious but not spiritual" but never "spiritual but not religious"

Um no. I am neither spiritual(whatever that means) or religious. 

I have a deep appreciation or "sense of awe" when I think about certain things like my late mother's hug, or my cat's meow, or a beautiful tropical sunset beach setting. I think it is simply better to ask the individual person what their position is rather than make statements like "I think every person has a religious impulse inside of them". I can tell you with 100% certainty I do not.

You can daydream yourself into different dimensions but you draw the line at multiverse theory?

I reject pretty much anything mainstream science has to say. It's all bogus.

Not sure if you’re old enough to drive yet but do you wear a seatbelt while in a moving vehicle?

You're a 100 percent liar. 
If you were seriously ill, or dying ... you would avail yourself of medical care (science). 
You would not just pray.

How about you provide a list, 15 mainstream science discoveries that you think are bogus, and why ?
What was your highest level of education ?

As far as your ignorant views on a multiverse go, actual educated people have been discussing it for thousands of years. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiverse
In fact when the WMAP was launched, there were astrophysicists (those are people who actually went to school), who thought there may be evidence seen in the microwave background radiation,
of multiverses. These were real educated people.

TBH with you, famous scientists like 'Penrose' did condemn the theory for good reasons, I just say it's a possibility because I prefer to link all religious things I believe in to scientific theories.

But what are your reasons to refuse the theory ?

Reasons? Well, that could be that you're no good at reason with those supernatural beings romping around in your mind.

Oh it absolutely does. Medicine is science. 
Thanks for demonstrating you have NO knowledge of science and cannot make an honest support of your ignorant assertion about science. 
Are you proud of being a liar ?
Did you graduate from Grade School ?
You SAID "It's all bogus". You can't even give 1 example ?
You're nothing but an ignorant troll, aren't you ?
