Altered states of consciousness have been part of human religious, ritual and spiritual practice for the last 100,000 years and is universal in all cultures in every part of the flaming world. If you think this is an indication of absolutely nothing whatsoever at all of any significance then.
You have the weight of evidence of something going on there and you ignore/dismiss it in favour of what your own opinion states to be true. It's not like there is no evidence of anything whatsoever and believers have to "prove it with science" else it can't possibly be a true or justified valid belief.

It's only "something extra" because you decided it wasn't necessary to begin with for some reason.

That's your opinion again but it's an opinion you have that goes against the weight of evidence and reason and beliefs mankind has held universally for tens of thousands of years. It's not someone sat down one day and decided to invent some complete bull and make people believe in it.
Come all ye faithful joyful and triumphant.
