It's chemical and neurological, not god. Buddhists and others induce mystic experience through meditation but don't experience god. The LSD experiments in the 1960s show you can induce a mystic state with drugs.

If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god.  If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.

They rarely do because they are ineffable.

I can easily "eff" most things to do with heavenly horseshit.
