Absolutely not. Consider the following principle: X cannot be non-X at the same time, in the same place, and in the same way. This is an aspect of reality that is not perceptible to the five senses.

What we perceive is not reality, but reality exposed to our method of questioning.
Reality is not confined....merely our perception of it.
The Tooth Faerie is perceived as real to a child because they found a quarter under the pillow.
When growing older, that child realizes it was the parent who put the coin there.
Does reality change? Nae, only the perception of it.

Reality is not confined to the senses. Anything and everything is possible. Reality is nothing more than an elaborate cloak over the eyes. If you believe in anything strongly enough, it can be done. For instance, healing through faith. All scientific evidence points to impossible, and yet it still happens. The person being healed believes so strongly they will be healed, that they are healed.

I would say no. Maybe only human beings can perceive things the way human beings do. And perhaps no two human beings perceive them the same way. (Such as saying everything that was invisible to the blind did not exist.) Even if all things can be perceived by human beings ("caught in the net of our five senses"), it does not follow that all things are now perceived or that they ever will be perceived. The telescope and microscope for example are relatively recent inventions. Then there is the spiritual ... 6th sense ...

Actually not. The vast majority of objective physical reality is imperceptible to our senses. We can't see x-rays, or radio waves. We can't see atoms or molecules. We can't see most of the stars in the night sky.
Most Believers operate from a solipsistic view point and assume the theater of our mind's eye is reality. Actually it's just a fantasy created by our living brain, based on inputs from our senses.

No.
Atoms are not perceptible to the unaided senses, but no one would deny their reality.
Reality is that which necessarily exists and that which actually transpires within the time/space continuum. But it is also more than that, because there is that which is real but is not measurable, like love, altruism, faith, hope, charity; also evil and depravity.
These real things exist within us, in our hearts and minds. These are the things that make us human, rather than animal.

Not even close. If this was the case then there would never be any divorces, lies, cheats, thieves. There would be no need for faith in anything.
