I find this debat rather boring because I had an out of body experience many years ago, at age 10, while having surgery under ether. My own memories are of a much more vivid experience visually. I was floating through space, seeing the entire universe from outside. Actually it was more like I was the universe.
It never occurred to me to attach religious significance to something seen while my brain was drugged.

I had a similar experience when administered "laughing gas" when I was 18.
Didn't like it too much!

Existence of consciousness outside the body would have some decidedly religious significance for those that believe once your body is dead, your mind is dead.

Your experience is not uncommon.
It is illogical to automatically assume and generalize that your experience is what everyone with an NDE experiences.
