Personally for me information from NDEs changed my life for the better. I think unlike religion, they offer better evidence of the spiritual realms and existence of God. Hoping we can have a civil discussion about it. I'm open to your views and hope we can reciprocate the respect for each other.
I would say the most amazing experiences that I have read was from Howard Storm. He was an atheist confident that nothing happens after life and his life was completely changed after his death experience. I met Howard and listened to his story, and want to share with you all here.
Please read through the short testimonial and let me know what you think so we can talk about it. There is a lot more infomation I can post, but this would be the place to start.

If that is your definition of short, I'd hate to read a long testimonial.
Anyway, apart from the dude claiming to be an atheist, I don't see any indication of him ever being one. The article shows no logical thinking on his part or any attempt at rationalizing the event, if it did really happen.
But NDE, if you actually look into it, is hugely affected by a person's culture and environment, just like other occurrences like alien abductions. Hence I don't see how you can conclude a spritual evidence from it.
