Umm...no. One of the main reasons I am an atheist is that I am well aware of the unreliability of my cognitive abilities. Any notion that I have experienced the divine would be dismissed as a result of that unreliability. It is theists that rely too heavily on their mental faculties thinking they can determine the difference between errors in the brain and feeling the presence of god.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
