Indoctrination

[Angrboda]

There doesn't need to be anything "supernatural" in order for that to happen, though.  By stimulating the brain with a functional MRI  (fMRI) machine, neuroscientists can cause the brain to create a mental effect that the patient perceives as a religious experience.

It's entirely possible that the brain has always created its own religious phenomena, and that gods have always been a naturally-occurring illusion.

Okay but does this explain how people who attend AA groups put their faith in a higher power of their choosing and it works out for them? The higher power is of their own choosing, it's not some pre-fabricated archetypal god such as Jesus, Vishnu, Odin etc.

That's an example of the post hoc ergo propter hoc fallacy.
