why do so many non-religious people seem to completely reject the mere possibility of an after-life, or even just a soul, or some kind of spiritual energy connecting lifeforms?

At the risk of sounding like a logic bro: I haven't ever seen any evidence of anything spiritual, so I have no reason to entertain the possibility of it existing. If there is no reason for me to believe (or at the very least consider the existence of) something, why should I? As for the myriad questions that science has not yet answered (or cannot answer) I'm perfectly happy to say 'I don't know' rather than seeking a spiritual explanation without at least an indication that it might be the right one.
