Incidentally, I had an NDE after I and several beachgoers got caught in a rip current, Rik. I lost consciousness and woke up being revived on a rescue raft. There was nothing that suggested an afterlife or a creator to me during my experience...and I was a theist at the time. Just a rapid, spontaneous recalling of early childhood events. Neurologists have theorized such "life flashes" to be the brain's best and last ditch attempt to "search" its memory for any data that could possibly prove useful towards survival; A way of downloading everything, in an effort to find anything.
Even as a teenaged believer, I got that the bit of unusual brain activity I experienced was due to prolonged oxygen deprivation. At the time, I would have loved to have been able to tell people that there had been someone/something there or just beyond, but I couldn't.
Not without embellishing, or outright lying.
