This has got me thinking, since every religion refers to this as "The touch of God" or "The presence of God" they can't all be right, can they?

I compare it to how every religion has a boogey man to chase away demons in their various versions of exorcisms. The Muslims, Catholics, Buddhists, etc... all have their own holy people to cleanse places of negativity and "evil" spirits. And it works! This is something that's hard to swallow. When somebody comes to me with a problem of evil spirits or negativity in their home or psyche and wants me to clear it out, I ask them what their religion is. If they have one, I almost always direct them to their religion's boogey man. I do this because I know they don't need the help of a specific religion; just a powerful holy person.
Whilst I practice Buddhism and I will always keep it close to my heart, I'm also an agnostic, I believe it's illogical to deny that there is something more to this universe. However, I don't think that we could even comprehend a way to commune with something that would be so far beyond our level of existence.
