This study delves into the phenomenology of transcendence, examining whether the experience of transcendence inherently requires the presence of a singular God, a deity, or other forms of divinity. By exploring the nature of belief and how individuals form explanatory frameworks for transcendent experiences, we address questions about whether transcendence is a cognitive experience grounded in cultural or personal beliefs. Insights from causal reasoning and folk epistemology allow us to assess whether such experiences rely on specific metaphysical constructs or are part of broader cognitive processes that can be experienced in secular or non-religious contexts.
