Religion is the ritual and ceremony associated with a particular spirituality, in this context.
People who claim to be non-religious but spiritual generally mean they believe the same basic concepts and precepts but do not feel any need to go through the motions of "proving" their beliefs by attending church, participating in rites & ceremonies, etc.

This is a sweeping generalization that may true of the self-professed atheists in your own life but doesn't necessarily reflect the majority. I've had far more Christians and Christian-variants attempt to convert me than I've ever had atheists. Most atheists I know won't even touch the subject because they consider it a personal choice and hate when people try to convert them so they're not going to open the door to it by trying to convert others.
It's not having what you want - It's wanting what you've got.
