Its interesting, and unfortunate that the "logical" mind cannot comprehend a spiritual experience.
Every experience with God is based on a spiritual awakening. But you first have to be open to it.
The God experience is based on personal revelation, which is useless to the casual bystander.... religious or otherwise.
No outward experience will convince atheists: Every religious event is explained away... or dismissed as some natural occurrence that just hasn't been discovered yet.
And this is why Faith is so important to our salvation. The answers are "within". The unbelievers just choose the easy path in life!
Ironically, and possibly in your (atheists in general) favor though, is the fact that "if" you live a good life of demonstrative love for others (not just your family & friends) you have a better shot at salvation than many followers that "much is expected of", but do not live by those words, or actions!
