Hey,
I am the devils advocate these days...
There is a very slight possibility that there are things we cannot fully sense around us (UV light, vlf sounds) and so the stimulus of a "supernatural experiance" or "shared delusion" just might be a real event.
Likewise, when I hear all the repetition of how groups of people can make you believe there is something there when there is not (or vice versa) can apply as well to atheism as to faith. How are we not sure there are ghosts and disbelief is a shared delusion, inasmuch as it could possibly be not true.
There, I went there.
