God is understood with the heart (spirit).
Your heart has no cognitive function, but I can see how basic anatomy is not important to the religious. After all, who needs a theological elbow when one converses with one's arse.
"I don't think god can be understood with the intellect, it seems like foolishness. God is understood with your emotions."
I have a theory that admitting that they are religious because of emotional needs is somehow offensive to some Christians so they use the word heart instead.
