Do atheists and nonreligious people have beautiful, loving NDEs too?

“So prior to my NDE, I was a devout atheist. My family were atheists, and then having this experience, it changed everything for me, and I had to believe in that greater energy, in that greater universe, which people call God or can call universe, but it changed me to a very spiritual person, and I get so much strength knowing that we all have a soul family.”12:42

“Um, in these situations, that this love, you know, these NDEs, they just become emotional, that they cannot believe this amount of pure, powerful, totally accepting, unconditional love is being just put through them, no matter what kind of life they've lived. And they see that, 'Okay, I'm loved unconditionally, and part of my challenge or part of my goal during my time on Earth is to see if I can even come close to that kind of powerful, unconditional love that I felt there.'”12:15

“More than 90% of near-death experiencers across all history, across all belief systems, no matter if they were previously an agnostic or atheist or whatever religion, more than 90% of them after this experience come back not just believing, but knowing the reality of a loving force at the core of the universe.”7:43

“Um, and did you at any time experience what other NDE experiencers describe as unconditional love?”59:38

“For me, first, some of us, there's even a different way of thinking. Our whole thought process changed, and that may not be a bad thing. For me, it was not a bad thing. A lot of us, as you know, report few fears, especially the fear of death goes away. I have an absolutely zero fear of death anymore, and I was terrified to die as an atheist. I was absolutely terrified by the whole prospect of death. And a lot of us come out of it. I mean, that's why I come to these ions conventions. Everybody's happy and loving and joyful and peaceful. So we come out of it with these beautiful after-effects, and some of us even have things like we sense that oneness all around us all the time. We want to be of service, you know. Some of us have these wonderful psychic or psych, after-effects. I know people that have become vegan after their NDE or vegetarian. So it's, it's awesome.”15:33

“There are a lot of stories of NDErs who did that and had a very nice, uh, blissful NDE with, uh, the light and unconditional love as well.”57:04

“Others who have had NDEs talk about the incredible, indescribable, unconditional love that they existed within when they were out of their bodies, and I experienced the same thing.”35:08

“these testimonies, but it started opening my eyes and allowing me to look at my world view objectively because here was this phenomenon that I had never heard about where you had Christians who had NDEs, Muslims, Buddhists, um, agnostics, um, atheists and it all pointed to the same thing. It all pointed to love. And so that really was eyeopening to me and it allowed me to objectively look at what I believed was, you know, uh, undisputable. And so NDE allowed me to start looking at my world view, a worldview that I once looked at”9:23

“The NDEs, they feel very different in the way they happen, and of course the experience of what transpired feels very different and characteristic, but I felt the same thing through both, which was this profound state of expanded awareness, this love.”35:47

“I believe that many people, regardless of their former or current beliefs have had equivalent experiences of spiritual rebirth (and others who claimed to have been "born again" have not yet been), and all of these NDE accounts confirm this belief.”4:29

“I stepped into the afterlife an atheist and I returned a believer, and I'm here to tell you that the NDE is very, very real.”9:20

“And, and another interesting note is there was nothing religious about the experience. I have heard NDEs where people say they meet angels or Jesus or, you know, whatever religious figure they're comfortable with. I didn't experience that. It had nothing to do with it, except for the love I felt and the peace that sort of thing.”44:57

“I stepped into the afterlife, an atheist, and I returned a believer, and I'm here to tell you that the NDE is very, very real.”6:10

“And now, after my NDE, I got so much love. They say you get what you're supposed to, whatever it is you need during your NDE, that's exactly what you get. And that's why they vary so much, and I needed love. The first part of my life was cold in that sense, and I had never really received that good nurturing love, and I needed that. Getting that from my NDE really changed everything because I developed more a sense of compassion and, um, an understanding for other people, and that feeling of oneness, and how we all affect each other.”4:40

“I stepped into the Afterlife an atheist, and I returned a believer, and I'm here to tell you that the NDE is very, very real.”6:21

“I've had several hardcore atheists that's had NDEs and they knew there was God afterwards.”48:38
