Since vast majority of humanity can not experience enlightenment and meet with God, is it wise to conclude that these are imaginary and incomprehensible? Is it applicable to unseen atoms, stars and aliens also?

Your answer to this question is your own and will fit your identity rather than the facts. This is as it should be. If you cannot experience enlightenment and choose to pursue it regardless of the fact that you are not sure and suspect that you will never reach it, that’s part of your journey on this planet. If you want to believe that it all goes away after death and decide to live life as if it will disappear one day, that is, again, part of your journey.

There is the way the world is, there is the world as you believe it, and there is the creative tension that results from the juxtaposition of the two. This creative tension is the zest of life, finding out that you’re wrong and how. Those that believe that the world ends on death, get the experience at the point where eternal life is revealed, the intense joy that comes from the understanding that temporality is an illusion, a terrific and phenomenally fantastic illusion, an illusion that is made more powerful and amazing because of it, rather than ordinary illusions that just seem crappy and ugly when they’re revealed.

Those who believe that God is imaginary and enlightenment is incomprehensible just aren’t ready for the concepts. Once mastered in a future life you can marvel at how the reality of them are at work not just in your own life but even in the unbelieving.

The unseen hides an endless world of discovery, no matter what the reality of everything is.
