CL, my opinion.
I don't think it's possible for anyone to experience anything which the brain already doesn't have "some" information about...
I remember a vivid dream as a kid where I was driving a big truck ( I think I may have watched "Duel")
Upon analysing the dream later, I realised that the parts where I was changing gears were blurred out!
This is because my brain couldn't fill in the gaps accurately because it didn't know how to replicate the motions.
As an atheist, please understand that any notion of woo is ridiculous to most of us.
God, Jesus, etc, is only a small subset of things we find fantastical!
On another point, as Rob likes to point out, even if it was true, can we distinguish this experience from highly advanced lifeforms doing this to us? Religious people are desperate to believe what they heavily invested in, and as such, the thinking is all binary...eg: anything unexplainable must be because of divine intervention.
That line of thought is critically fallacious on so many levels...
And no, we really do not hate or have anything against your favourite spaceman anymore than you don't hold against us our love for batman...

No God, No fear.
Know God, Know fear.
