I suspect that these experiences trigger a "religious" part of the brain

Really!?!
Please explain why such a part of the human brain would exist?

That was my sloppy term for that part of the brain, when stimulated, gives the person the feeling of a religious experience. Years back I read where neurosurgeons were able to recreate these experiences in just such a manner.

Put "NDE brain" in Google and check some of them out.

One of interest is at: http://skepdic.com/nde.html but there are probably more from scientific sites.
