If I do have an experience that is actual, demonstrable and objective then I would have a good reason to believe in God. Right?
Yes, if it is actual, demonstrable and can be shown on an objective basis to be evidence for God. The number of times a theist has been to do this successfully is zero.
The main problem is not that I doubt that theists are actually having their purported "personal experiences". I will grant this quickly. What I will not grant is that these experiences are evidence for God. We can demonstrate that such experiences are delusional at best.
