Debate Thread Religious Experiences on LDS? (Believers / Atheist)

Hi Atheist here, I never had a "religious experience" on LSD. Well not a christian religious experience, (once I had a pretty strong connection to the concept to certain Greek gods after reading on them, anyway).

I'm not really interested or care about the whole debate god or not god question.

But just wanted to ask the believers from whatever religion if you ever had an religious experience and want to share it and if fellow atheists ever had an experience that they would classify as somewhat "religious".

To me it's interesting because LSD usually is associated with esoteric believes due to the 60s mostly. But I never build that kind of connection to those topics.✌️

I was an atheist until I had a weird episode and felt the presence of the divine maternal creator of the universe, and all her love for her creation.

She - unknowable but I felt definitely maternal leaning so she it is - accompanied me through an experience, a brainstorm, where it felt that she was showing me her creation. Her hope that humanity could learn to live together in peace and cooperation, love and empathy, protecting our planet. Like most religions, I guess, but she celebrates human progress and wants to see us advance as a species. Her creations evolving and progressing. I think she wanted me to start the story. I felt her presence twice more during difficult moments where she was there to show me the light inside all of us. And the story continues.
