The idea of living in a computer simulation, with no body, seems like an update of the writing of Rene Descartes. He considered something like that, then rejected it.
Mainstream atheism presents the opposite, that we are body only - no mind, self, soul, etc. An out-of-body experience would be impossible as there is nothing to you but your body.
So that is the range we are dealing with. :)
The existence of a physical world of any sort begs for an explanation. To ignore it seems to me to a show a profound lack of curiosity or imagination, or just a profound stubbornness.
