It is true that many people have been hurt by misguided believers. Many people have been hurt by misguided politics, too. And misguided financial philosophies and basically anything misguided.
It is legitimate for you to give little credence to near death stories. It is also legitimate that others give much credence to them.
Your assumption that I have not been exposed to damaging and misguided religious beliefs couldn't be more wrong. I don't share your opinion. That doesn't mean that I don't understand where your opinion comes from, nor does it mean that I am ignorant about things you are informed about. It simply means that I don't share your opinion about something that is not provable.
This is simply something that, by definition, no one knows the answer to. Anyone who insists that their opinion is correct, whether religious or atheist, is ridiculous. Because no one knows.
