We perceive the world through our 5 senses, yet we understand that things exist outside the perception of our senses, dog whistles for example. No person has heard a dog whistle because we cannot hear on that frequency level, and so the understanding that this frequency exists is based on a belief since we've never heard it.
Actually, I can hear dog whistles. I'm not unique, either. I just have a range of hearing a little broader than the average, that's all. My eyes are pretty much useless, but my ears make up for that. But even if your blanket assertion were true, we can still measure the frequencies we might not be able to hear directly. Belief is not required.
Incidentally, I have considerably more than five senses, and so do you.

And as I described, we have means of detecting and measuring such frequencies. When you can demonstrate the frequency range of a god, or similar entity, publish it and get yourself a Nobel prize.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
