Why Would God Hide?

[FatAndFaithless]

Where you're wrong is that the majority of people CLAIM to have experiences with a deity, but that claim should not be taken at face value.

But it isn't an extraordinary claim if the majority of humans claim it...

Nno..again not right. It doesn't matter how many people claim it, it doesn't become less extraordinary. The claims about deities (about how the universe was formed, how it's run, where it's going, where humans came from, how to behave, rewards/punishment, rules, revelations, etc) are all extraordinary claims.
