I find only one alternative remotely plausible, namely that there is no God and what I interpret as spiritual experiences are actually delusions.

People have already accomplished "spiritual experiences" with secular meditation, drugs (mushrooms, LSD), and magnetic stimulation (the "god helmet"). And sometimes similar results from disease, schizophrenia, infections, etc.
