@magitweeter @Radical_EgoCom who said it was intimate? It's not. There are literally huge numbers of people organized into myriad communities with socially constructed knowledge of God. Many many more people are involved in this than in socially constructing the existence of quarks.
The existence of quarks only directly explains anything to at most a few tens of thousands of people. I bet no more than a hundred thousand over all of human history. Everyone else is just taking it on authority. On the other hand more than 4 billion people alive right now are either Christian or Muslim.
