No, I might think it would be an odd concept but that's up to you.

The brain is capable of making you feel such things....and of making you think that they are real.
An example: When someone has an angiogram (dye is pumped into the coronary arteries and then observed on x-ray) they can feel that they are in the presence of an invisible being/angel/devil, they might feel an incredible feeling of peace come over them. Or they might simply feel heat or that they have wet themselves. All of which is simply an effect of the dye entering the coronary arteries.
There are other explanations for religious experiences....

Ahh that old chestnut. Well it looks like you've got thousands of years of religious belief all wrapped up there.....
Actually no. I have felt personal experiences which can
only have come from my God. They are too personal for me to go in to here but your theory does not allow for the times when I've been faced with extreme danger only to be given a 'get out of jail' card which got me out of the situation. This has happened many times.
