A lot of people found religion in the 60's and 70's due to psychedelics, and have continued to do so ever since. As an example, many people were first drawn to Eastern religions through psychedelic experiences.
Also, arguments have been made that even the mainstream religions were originally founded (and in their early years sustained) due to psychedelic use. For an example see Allegro's "The Sacred Mushroom and the Cross".
That's not to mention many smaller religions such as the Native American Church, Santo Daime, Uniao Do Vegetal, etc.
Something else to consider is that drug use has been so stigmatized (not to mention illegal) for so long that many users have been afraid to come forward and admit their psychedelic use. That's been changing due to the Psychedelic Renaissance and its positive reception in the press, but there are likely to be many more people who haven't come out of the closet yet (not to mention users who died before this more permissive era started). So the number of people who were drawn to religion through psychedelic use is probably much larger than we know.
I'm sure plenty of them did. But it's interesting I don't see Christians, Jews, or Muslims talk about how they get high all the time. They'd be put off by you suggesting it. It's even a central practice to not do so.
One thing I learned from psychedelic usage is the powerful of the minds ability to imagine things about reality and present them as reality itself. I think the realization of this sort of thing might contribute to many psychedelic users to adopt a more ~spiritual outlook on life, which I believe is more aligned with how things really are.
