As for the mass visions they were clearly deluded, but that fact can not be used to say every body who has a religious experience is deluded; that is just not logically correct.
Because some people are deluded, means all people are deluded.
That statement does not stand up to scrutiny.
So IF what your saying is true then if I said the flying spaghetti monster talked to me and I saw him, that too would have to be counted as evidence for the existance of the FSM.
That means anything in children books can be counted as evidence and every story can be as well. This is not evidence, this is the complete opposite to science and logic.
So NO! Personal experiance cannot be held as evidence for god unless your willing to accept that the toothfairy can exist due to evidence of dreaming.
Personal experiance is not science, it's not logical and it holds no ground.

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan
Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
