Generally speaking no. Some people say that glass is a liquid- that one always comes up as it has no real solid to liquid transition point. The argument is that if you leave it long enough it will spread, so it's a liquid. Its debatable though.
Yes, a liquid has the ability to spread in all directions due to its fluidity. This is because the molecules in a liquid are not held in a fixed position like a solid, allowing them to move and flow into available spaces.

Islam spread north at first and then spread east and west.
Solid doesn't spread.
Gas
Waves that spread outwards in all directions are called spherical waves.
Yes, because it can take the shape of it's container. Gas can also spread in all directions.
In a solid, thermal expansion occurs as the temperature increases, causing the atoms or molecules to vibrate more, increasing the average distance between them. As a result, the solid expands in all directions. In a gas, thermal expansion occurs as the temperature increases, causing the gas molecules to move faster and spread out, increasing the volume of the gas.
The change between solid, liquid and gas is known as a change of state and is affected by the substance and its temperature. E.g. at room temperature water is liquid but a 0oc it becomes ice, a solid.
Christianity spread in all directions from Jerusalem. The apostles obeyed the dictum, "go, teach ye all nations..." We are more familiar with the spread to Rome, but there were pockets of Christians in Asia and India.
A solid spread throughout a gas is called a suspension. This can occur when solid particles are dispersed and suspended in a gas, creating a mixture where the solid particles are not dissolved in the gas but simply dispersed within it.
Yes, electromagnetic waves spread by traveling outward from their source in all directions. The intensity of the waves decreases as they spread out, following the inverse square law.
