Christians report seeing white light, Jesus, aura of love and compassion. What do people of other faiths report, and how about atheists?

The white light effect and related emotional feelings are the normal consequences of a oxygen starved brain (or other related compromise).
These experiences can be recreated medically, with drugs and anesthesia (and no I am not being silly, nor am I talking about "recreational" drugs).
These things have been studied and documented, they are not mysterious - they are normal responses to coming very close to death, they have rational explanations.
Besides, belief in god is all about faith - there is no evidence. Believe it or don't but stop looking for proof, because there isn't any.

Most people report being out of their bodies ,floating around ,seing their body, a tunnel and a white light at the end ...I think the brain does that to alleviate the pain of dying.
Pretty much all experience the same...It doesn't matter if you're religious or not.

Scientific studies show that people see whatever they have been conditioned to expect.
Atheists (I've heard) experience very little. If anything a vague sense of awe.

Part of it is physiological. As nerves suffer from near death hypoxia, they send the same signals. I think part of it is delusion of Satan.
