I did not dismiss the experiences itself but only the unverifiable claims that are based on it. I do believe some people sincerely have these experiences. And as a matter of fact I hold that the spiritual is taken hostage by the religious and the proponents of the occult. Atheists should reclaim the spiritual from its theistic captivity. Stripped to its essence the spiritual refers to very human personal contemplation and feelings of unity and harmony with others, life and the universe. So far I'm with you.

I do not believe however that the majority of the religious is tapping into these experiences at all. Do you have any evidence to substantiate this.
