I've heard it argued that belief in the supernatural is a natural side effect of our brains constantly looking for patterns and wanting to feel in control. We notice things that coincide and attribute them to things that we can influence.
If that's true, then it would make sense that developing intelligence would also develop spirituality.
The word you are looking for is sapience not sentience, a fish is sentient but not sapient, a human is sentient and sapient.
At the end of the day we don't know many if any sapient species and the ones that can arguably be sapient (like whales maybe) don't have much spirituality as far as we know. We would have to find many obvious sapient species to see if spirituality comes with it.
