How can you be sure that such a thing won't be rational?
I think revelation is an important concept here. A revealed truth is a fundamental truth about reality that is communicated directly to a mortal by the divine. So religiously apprehending something, I think, would require some elevated communication, beyond that achievable by mortal to mortal, and it must communicate a fundamental, or perhaps important truth.
Devil's advocate:
It could simply be a heightened sensitivity of the mere mortal to subtler aspects of reality. No need to put non-human or non-mortal entities into the equation.
