The "realization" is an experience, but it remains a belief also.
The "wonderful plan and power" could be just the result of physical laws being followed without divine intervention since the universe began with a Big Bang.
A person is hiking in the Canyonlands of Utah, and she realizes that the beautiful panorama that is unfolding in front of her could not have happened by accident; there must have been some wonderful plan and power that created this and many other wonderful natural areas. This is a religious:
ritual
belief
experience
sect
it has to be experience. ritual is something passed on or done over and over. belief is something done that is custom to the culture, and a sect is a set way of doing things. experience seems the only logical one right?
