physical mechanism

I don't think a deist's perspective has to reduce all religions to human mythologies with only ethics and meditation in common. I am interested in the study of neurotheology (or spiritual neuroscience http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neurotheology), which in some cases seems to indicate that our brains were designed to have religious experiences and a person can train their brain to have them more often. I think the part of our brain used during times of trance, spiritual awe, visions, meditation or prayer is simply the physical mechanism by which we communicate with the divine.
