Interesting question.
I have no religion, yet here I am.
I know very little about spirituality and yet I have spiritual experiences.
My elder would say, if I believe what is happening in my little world of perception is true and real, then it is true and real for me. It does not mean it is true or real for anyone else. (And this is without the lava lamp and special mushrooms.)
I am either the chicken before the egg or the egg that believes she is a chicken.
