Generically, Hasty Generalization would work. What the person would be doing is taking a sample size of one and extending it to the population (all people). Even in the case where one uses their subjective experience combined with the testimonies of others, the sample size is still inadequate, and therefore the claim is fallacious. In the latter case, the Biased Sample Fallacy would also fit, especially in the case where people who have had what they interpreted as religious experiences only draw upon the religious to come to their conclusion. |
