>profound religious-mystical component

If you're meeting god on your trips, I'm willing to bet you believed in god to begin with, and possibly believed you would meet him before your trip started. You see what you were expecting to see. To say that there is a religious-mystical component of the psychedelic experience, well, if its real it for sure isn't universally felt.

Not universal, sure, but I thought I recalled in “How to Change Your Mind”, they talk about studies done with psilocybin that definitely result in people of all walks of life experiencing a sort of super spiritual trip, even atheists.
