Let me put it this way: I have no evidence that there is a supernatural deity, or a god--one who is separate and apart from Nature as I perceive it.
But unless Nature is nothing more than an illusion, a dream state--and we are all victims of fraudulent senses, physically, mentally and spiritually--I have enough evidence to convince me that I am part of a dynamic and total process. I have a strong, mystical, sense that there is Being and Presence in the Now, which has practical value, for me, moment by moment. I call this dynamic and total process, GØD. Compare this with the 'religion' of Spinoza and Einstein.
Is this a subject that can be taught, like reading, writing and arithmetic?
No, it is more like an art. Yes, one can learn to be a better artist, especially from other gifted artists; but only if the gift is already present.
BTW, I feel the same way about scientists like Tesla and Einstein.
