As for meeting historic religious leaders to me it only makes sense that they would meet the religious leader of their beliefs. To me the most interesting NDE are those of atheist.

Sure do...kindof puts the whole "I saw jesus after he died" thing into cold light, doesn't it?  If you're going to hallucinate a person, nde or not...religious figures and departed dear ones are the top two.  

I keep asking why you think being an atheist has anything to do with this, though?  Atheists don't believe in gods.  Tons of atheists believe in afterlives, and don't need to have an nde to convince them of their existence. Something tells me, in the case of those of us who don't..the problem isn't a lack of "honest research".
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
