1) NDE’s have absolutely nothing to do with religious beliefs being confirmed. If it did, people would all have the same NDE (for example all the ones having a heaven experience would be the same and ditto for hell experiences).
2) any religion that is basically equivalent to a fraternity and you need permission to be saved or connect with God is simply ridiculous. So the only way to God is by getting other humans’ blessings somehow.
3) Any religion that places the burden of your ancestors’ or even parents’ sins on the child, and the only way to “cleanse yourself” of those sins is through an intermediary, is wrong.
According to many religions, you can’t directly connect to God without approval. You can’t be a member of the faith without approval.
That to me is the opposite of what some you like to think your religion teaches, but in fact are a part of the same machine.
Religion can make you a good person by giving guidance to being such, but is not necessary.

If one man's sins can't be imputed to all people, then one man's obedience can't be imputed, either, and we are all dead in our sins and awaiting the wrath of God against unrighteousness.
