There was a friend of mine who recently was, as politely as possible, questioning God and religion. He wanted to understand faith, even though he is an atheist. As sad as I find that, and I will keep him in my prayers, to 'explain' God, faith, and religion is like trying to nail jello to a tree, or catch a two-year old after a candy bar, or to hold on to the wind.
If I might make him just a little more confused . . . a little Victor Hugo snippet should offer some very keen insight into faith for ya!
Be like the bird that, halting on its flight, awhile on boughs too slight, feels them give way beneath her, and yet sings . . . knowing that she hath wings.
