I’m an atheist. So why can’t I shake God?

[Ravenshire]

And have you researched hundreds of NDE claims from countries/regions that are not predominantly christian?

Yes I have, but I would be foolish to claim I'm wise because that would require knowledge, information and experience. I've never had an NDE or OBE. I researched many collectively from Christians, Jews, Muslims, Hindus, atheists, gay people, Native Americans, and from that research have come to high level conclusions. Almost like seeing things from a birds eye view of a battlefield rather than the eyes of one soldier. If you are interested you can read my thread where I posted more about the afterlife here:

Researching claims of NDEs from people of other faiths is not what I asked, but seems to be how you answered (please correct me if I'm wrong). People who live in cultures not steeped in christianity tend to experience NDEs in line with their cultural norms. Unless you subscribe to the notion that all gods are merely faces of the one true god, how can you reconcile that with the idea that NDEs point to your idea of god?
