People have had similar experiences due to mental illnesses, narcotics, and even illness. Given that those are all provable causes, they are far more likely to be the explanation than a religious experience, which is so far down at the 'extremely implausible' end of the spectrum of possible explanations as to be almost out of sight.
My question is why you are so willing to believe that you had a highly culturally influenced religious experience, and not attribute it to something else?

I doubt that you get it if your advice is 'to pray'. I have no good reasons to believe that prayer works, even if there's actually something to pray to.

As relevant to this as me quoting the Qur'an would be for you. All it does is raise the issue that asking people to believe in god, so that they can see that he is real, is circular reasoning.
