Some of us get that by standing at the bank of a creek, lol. Irreligious people have the same experiences that religious people do. You're probably even imagining something there for them that isn't.
You think that they feel what you feel, plus...but it might just be what you feel. When we discuss experience, we're talking about human chemistry - not a temple, or a rock..or even a creek. Any of those things could be the location of just such an experience..and by the breadth of human experience - and even human religious experience, we can say for certain that pretty much every place on earth does create them.
I guarantee you that there are people who feel the sense of the numinous...in a walmart parking lot.
