Aligning the allegory of the cave with religion is more Neo-Platonic than factual. The metaphor of the sun does not presuppose religion but nature and knowledge as the source of illumination. Religion and science are at cross purposes. While there may be religious scientists, these are often hamstrung by allegiances to their churches and so, seldom real seekers of truth. This "essence" of religion you continue to promulgate may once have been prescientific aetiology, but one need only observe the ways in which religion views science as a threat to understand that the two have been enemies for ages.
"Can a believer and non believer be open to the possibility that their supernatural part is yet to be awakened?"
You see, here is where you go off the rails, identifying yourself strictly as a religious person. I am not one, nor am I open to accepting religious premises. The supernatural is bunk. You'd have more success here selling snake oil.
