i think that they couldve added this scene because it lets the players draw up their own conclusions of what happened to Shepard when he was "sleeping" (as the illusive man called it.) One thing that was nice in the original Mass Effect is that when Ashley brought up her religion, you had the option to either say you were religious, tell her not to bring it up, or just dodge the subject altogether
