It's extremely difficult to expose charlatans. It took 20th century technology that tapped into earpiece conversations to truly expose the depths of depravity in those claiming special endowments from God.
I'm somewhat sympathetic to mystics. (Read Neo and I's convo). I think that, sometimes, it can be reasonable for a person to accept their own mystical experience as true. But only true for themselves. They ought not inflict it on others or expect others to accept it as true. It's asinine to do that. And if you did that, you'd have to accept thousands of visions of Vishnu and Shiva that Hindus have had.
Camus has stated clearly the atheists argument for not accepting another person's mystical experience as true. I can't say it any better than she did.
