The science of quantum physics has some very interesting theories that could be considered as providing evidence there is an unseen spirit world. Consider the theories of...
Unpredictability - Particles in motion should have a predictable path, but they can actually divert from their present direction for no known reason.
Tunneling - Particles can travel through solid barriers.
Entanglement - Particles can have an unseen connection with other particles despite a long physical distance of separation.
Decoherence - Physical elements in the earth have active particles that lose their live vibrating state (coherence) when the elements are put through a manufacturing process.
The Unified Field - Every living object with an energy field is connected to the universe by a larger 'Unified' energy field.
Another interesting consideration for a spiritual world is that our physical bodies are mostly space and energy. If we were to look into a human cell we would find our DNA. If we looked into the DNA we would find molecules. If we look into the molecules we find atoms. If we look into the atoms we find mostly space, consisting of tiny constantly moving particles. These particles include a nucleus with a proton and neutron, that are being circled by moving electrons. So, at the atomic level in the human body, we are mostly space and energy.
Belief in one God who is experienced as a Holy Triune or Trinity. The Christian's sacred document is the Bible. Key Christian beliefs include Jesus is the Son of God (Mt 3:17, Mk 1:1, Lk 1:35). God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, and whoever believes in Him will have eternal life (Jn 3:16). The Great Commandment is love God, and a second like it, is love your neighbor as yourself, on these commandments depend all the Law and Prophets (Mt 22:37-40). Go into the world and share the Gospel of Jesus (Mk 16:15).

Religions offer knowledge and traditions on spiritual growth, and how to live and love well.
Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind (Albert Einstein)
Similarities in the major religions include the beliefs that we all have a selfish nature, but we still desire to be in relationship with others, which means we must work to overcome our selfish nature. They all share some common natural laws that govern human nature, like the importance of love, respect, wisdom, truth, integrity, forgiveness, and justice
While the major religions have some similarities, they also have significant differences in their beliefs of the spiritual world and spiritual growth.
There are also the philosophies of Confucius, and Taoism, which are primarily practiced in China. It's my understanding that most Chinese do not consider these as religions, but prefer to reference them as philosophies. These philosophies also believe our human nature is selfish and needs some work, so we can live in harmony with others.
Confucianism promotes ancestor worship, as spirits, not gods. https://education.nationalgeographic.org/resource/confucianism
Taoism promotes a universal spiritual energy, and the light and dark forces of yin and yang.
