sounds like you haven't had much experience of having to sit through religious people spout bullshit at you every single day.
You mean like what's happening in this thread? Someone had a joke that had nothing to do with religion, and here we are talking about religious bullshit because someone can't let any opportunity pass without mentioning religion.
Again: if you're tired of people spouting religious bullshit at you all day I would expect you to not try to steer even more conversations towards religion.
I would just expect someone who doesn't like religion to not want to have conversations about it, instead of bringing it up at every vaguely related opportunity.

There’s a term for this idea, “preternatural”. It means a phenomenon that is the result of the natural world, not magic or divine, but still unexplainable with our current understanding.
So anything actually proven to exist would be "preternatural" then. Even it turned out to be the result of magic or the devine, it's still something that exists in the natural world that we just don't understand yet.
