Religiousity is actually a sense knowledge about God. Religion actually brings in reverence towards God and since man is a three fold being, his spirit responds to this act through fear and so he beleives in whatever he is told. However Christinity is not religion in that in Christianity, we are made new creations...we have the God-life in us (Zoe), we are aware of our diven nature and we know Christ in us is our hope of Glory. We become the beauty of God.

What is a "religious experience"? Perhaps it will help make it more comprehensible if we refer to it as a "Spiritual experience"?
A Spiritual experience takes place when the Attn Aspect of ones Apapsyche [Operational Energy of ones Soul] shifts out of ones brain and moves into either ones MIND realm, or ones Spiritual realm... which are the terms for the Esoteric realms existing within each of us.
There are subtle experiential "truths" that one can and does access from within these Esoteric realms that only can be "Known" from within these realms.... and these are Known by ones faculty of "intuition". However as soon as ones Attn Aspect of Apapsyche leaves the plane one is experiencing... and moves into the Left-Hemisphere of ones brain, all awareness of the Esoteric "truth" is lost.
Truths that can be Known within these subtle realms of vibrational energy that make-up the Whole Human Being cease to exist when ones Attn Aspect of Apapsyche vacates the Esoteric realm where they can be experienced. This reality is generally unknown in the fields of education, science, and mental health... because those in these fields are habitually fixed in the Left-Hemisphere of their brains where they seek to discover these "truths" by thinking alone.
When one experientially becomes aware of one of these higher truths, one automatically realizes that it is so much more Real than what one previously knew... that one believes in the "Unknown" much more strongly. That for most the term "God" represents this "Unknown" is the reason such experience is attributed to God.

You'd have to define what a religious experience is first.

They are neurological products of the human brain and they happen when you are awake, like having a dream when you are awake so they appear real, But they are just as imaginaive as your dreams.

They're only religious if the person interprets them that way.
