God is real, the Bible is real, Jesus is real, the Holy Spirit is real, salvation is real. Some are blessed with amazing experiences that convict them of this and are never shaken. Some can see this truth in other Christians around them and accept it without deeply questioning it or understanding. Some need to touch the wounds in Jesus' flesh.
It's not wrong to ask God to reveal himself. It's not wrong to ask him to cure your doubts. It's not wrong to question the things other Christians are saying if they go against your personal understanding and relationship of God. The important thing is you don't try to do these things behind his back. Lift them up to him in prayer.
Are you aware of the Marsh Chapel Experiment? (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marsh_Chapel_Experiment)
A good read with some information on it is The Harvard Psychedelic Club (https://www.amazon.com/Harvard-Psychedelic-Club-Timothy-Fifties/dp/0061655945)
Another great read for you is: Sacred Knowledge: Psychedelics and Religious Experiences (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0175P7PP0).
Another writer/researcher/professor/Christian who might interest you is Amos Yong. He writes about how much Christians can learn from other faiths and their practices and how they fit within a broader scheme of Pentecostal theology. All of his books are interesting reads (though fairly dense).
