The mind plays tricks. The senses shut down in a similar fashion.
For instance, how many times have you heard of people verging on unconsciousness recall losing sense of hearing or experiencing tunnel vision? A very common set of sensations...

Why wouldn't common sensations occur in "near death" events?
I'm not saying anyone is lying at all. I just find people have a tendency to see profound when mere coincidences match up.
I think the creation of the universe is profound and its very existence awe-inspiring. Cletus getting bonked on the head just doesn't do it for me. 

I've had tunnel vision before I passed out.  There was nothing profound or painful or even religious about it.  I simply remember having tunnel vision and then waking up on the ground of the gym trying to figure out how I got there. I got up, was pretty embarrassed and just left because I didn't want to have to talk to anyone about it. I went to the doctor to get checked - he said he couldn't find anything wrong with me.  He asked me what I was doing at the time; I told him I was doing heavy crunches on an ab machine.  He immediately figured out that I triggered some nerve that caused me to pass out.

Anyway, while it was "weird", I didn't see Jesus, angels, bright light, my spirit guides or anything of the sort.  But, I did experience true tunnel vision. So, I reckon its not the same thing that people who nearly died experience.
