I would not go so far as to make that claim. When an individual feels a particular sensation, especially when listening to music, it is the body releasing dopamine. Many theists confuse the sensation with feeling god.
Well you only quoted one small part of what I said, I gave a specific example of someone who was already religious feeling happy and then believing the happiness was a sign of god, but happiness on its own would not be considered to be causing the hallucination, at least not by me. It wouldn't even be considered to be a hallucination, it's just a guy who feels happy who already believes in god .
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
