Some avowed atheists have had near-death experiences. Some have their perspectives and outlooks altered, and others dismiss it as “hallucination” and therefore not real. Are those atheists having a near-death experience that is positive and even involving divine interaction, beneficiaries of recent past lives that were in greater alignment? Is there a danger, if they persist too long in this direction, they will be less likely to have a positive near-death or even death experience in future incarnations?

What you describe is quite possible, that someone who is not spiritual, not a believer in the divine, who has an uneventful or positive near-death experience that actually inspires them to perhaps take a second look at their beliefs, is probably not too far removed from a time when they were in alignment. Human lives are very short and the current life, inevitably, no matter where along the way you might be, is only a few short years in duration and influence compared to the sum total of hundreds of other lifetimes, perhaps many lived in divine alignment with a strong faith in the Almighty. The growing Secular Movement spreading around the world is taking quite a toll on believers, to corrupt them into thinking religion is unnecessary and perhaps more a liability than a benefit. Indeed, making such a choice to willfully become an atheist is truly cutting off your lifeline to the divine that keeps you going, in fact, with life force energy. We turn no one away, so when anyone passes, including atheists, they are always met by light callers to escort them back to the higher astral plane. We know that people who are devout and committed atheists are only in a state of confusion and distortion of thinking and do not judge them. We know there will be a path back to divine alignment for them, so none are turned away, all are welcomed no matter what they may have done during life. We do not punish. We allow. It is the individual who chooses a dark path who ends up punishing themselves because the energy of that darkness they add to and create to harm others will find its way back and harm them, and that will be an important karmic lesson and perhaps a painful one. But it is self-chosen and it is very true that choosing the life of an atheist is not only dangerous but foolhardy when you are literally a part of the divine to begin with but are willing to turn your back and walk away—the tragedy is we must let you have that choice if you decide you want it to be so.
