If a non religious person can (in a laboratory) be made to have a 'religous experience' and it is shown that the experience was due to dye in the coronary arteries or by having a current (remotely) induced in a part of the brain(with an induction coil), then either we are getting God to perform on cue for our whim or we are demonstrating that there is more than one reason for a 'religious experience'.
I suppose that it could be true (not saying it is). You can alter a person's perception of their world through drugs. If you could control the drugs, and what areas of the brain are affected, you could implant a "suggestion" of a religious experience.

I am speculating here though. I don't know if the above is actually possible with today's medical technology..
