Fellow agnostic here, with religious friends and family.<p>I&#x27;ve asked my dad this before (Catholic), and his response was (paraphrasing):<p>Of course those stories are parables. There wasn&#x27;t really a literal burning bush. But, whether the supernatural stuff is real, that&#x27;s what faith is. Faith means that even when you can&#x27;t see it, you know it&#x27;s there because you can feel it. So you trust that what&#x27;s there is what you think is there.<p>That&#x27;s the supernatural parts of religion to my dad (I think he was in his 60s when I asked him about that.)
