Some people have issues with the term "supermnaturla" because they seem to equate it with soemthing outside nature and science but thatis NOT the case.
A supernatural event is something that is "outisde the morm", yes, but only because OUR notion of norm and natural is still very "intantile".
A supernatural event is siemply one that science has not YET been able to explain.

I agree on PS.
I know scientist try to understand why people got the feeling when some one is watching where they dont see it. There is still a huge field to discover.
Think about it, our brain works with signals wich we can detect from the outside. Beam an advertisment to your brain or an key to unlock yourself from the BORG.

yes mankkeli
it is possible to experience more intense and transcendent emotions in an atheistic life without a belief in God. An atheist would do this by putting value in work, in love for people, in creativity, in hope, in fate. All these avenues are availabe to the atheist as they are to to those who are not atheists. The great enemy to a spiritual life is reductionism imo and not whether or not one does or does not believe in God.
