*During the discussion, James makes reference to a survey from the Pew Research Center. You can access the results of that survey here: https://www.pewresearch.org/religion/2023/12/07/spiritual-experiences/

James specifically quotes from the section titled, "Personal encounters with spirits". In hindsight, a more applicable citation for this discussion should have come from the section titled, "Sudden connection with the beyond". In that section, 45% of respondents stated that they had a sudden or unexpected feeling of connection with something beyond this world. 49% of Protestant Christians surveyed affirmed this statement. Though these percentages are higher than the ones quoted by James, the underlying point remains true: According to the survey, a majority of people have not had a transcendent moment with God.
