You can have altered mystical states of consciousness and experiences beyond the physical body while a person is still alive but I'm not sure why that would prove naturalist materialism to be true. If anything it would suggest consciousness isn't a byproduct of the brain. What evidence is there that consciousness is a byproduct of physical matter? Why can't the universe as a whole be the product of consciousness instead?

Atheists claim this but you can't prove God exists.

You're asserting God doesn't exist or there is no good reason to believe that he does exist and you say this without knowledge or proof of the materialist alternative that would exist in place of God if there is no God. So that's a counter belief and the equivalent of a faith in God or a religion in it's own right.
Come all ye faithful joyful and triumphant.
