Ufology is a Religion

Ufo/Alien Religion

Hello Fellow ATSers i have come to the conclusion after a very in depth thought processs i've been having all day that Ufology is a Religion.

The Modern day Sightings that we get act as to me what looks like a conversion tool, each day more come over to boast thier beliefs, Thier is no hard evidence.

A religion is a set of beliefs concerning the cause, nature, and purpose of the universe, especially when considered as the creation of a supernatural agency or agencies, usually involving devotional and ritual observances, and often containing a moral code governing the conduct of human affairs.

Well me meet nearly all of the Definition so shouldnt someone be setting up a church.

Kind Regards
True-seer

This May be a Bold Claim to make but i'm sure you all agree with me.

Do you all think its turned into a religion

I've never expected to say this in my entire life, but: I'm proud to be a part of a religion!

I'm Proud also its a Different Kind of religion, but we meet all the requirements of a Religion in everyway.

Hale Bopp comes to mind when I think of UFO religion.
Oh wait, they all drank the Kool-aid.

Never mind.

I'd say I was "Visited" and you can take that any way that you want.

I was led to the conclusion:
Covenants are with the destroyer.
Constitutions come from the creator.

It most certainly is a new age, modern day religion. I don't find it an admirable thing either: just another mode of human credulity.

Please see this thread, which was only posted a few days ago but says basically the same exact thing you are trying to say:
ATS thread equating UFOs to religion

I suppose my question to you (and it is a hypothetical one) is this:
If you saw something floating in the sky in broad daylight that you could not explain, would you classify yourself as:
1) Converted to a new belief system, or
2) Witness to an elusive but REAL phenomenon?

reply to post by Magnus47


I would actually pick both your options.

But thats just me.

Kind Regards

Yeah, I dont have anything to do, so I enter threads and say lies

come on, I just said that this is the second thread I read about the same subject, not with the same title off course, I dont know if it was in the same category

but it was about the relation between religion and ufology, and I posted in it

Beliefs in "UFOs" no different from "religious beliefs"

www.abovetopsecret.com...

See this is why you mislead me you said with same title

silly me.

and what are all religions based on if not future worldly or other worldly origins?

reply to post by True-seer


I thought it was almost the same title ... off course it wouldnt have the same title, otherwise you would have to to call paranormal detectives to find out why 2 persons would do 2 threads with the same title in a time span of 24 hours in the same board

I think they thought there was a "Mother Ship" following the comet.

Church of Contact we should name it!


Trying to define "religion" is like trying to define what "life" is. Stay away from it , no one knows or can come up with a single definition that encompasses the nature of the word.


Yeah , it is a religion to think that one knows what these objects are and / or their purpose. Actually it is more of just an unsubstantiated belief. However the evidence that there are actually unidentified objects out there of , as yet , unknown origin is a totally rational opinion. If your idea of irrational, which I think this thread shows , then the answer is no.

If one wishes to study the phenomenon of UFO's what constitutes that to be religious in any sense of the word?

When someone follows a belief system in, say UFOs, `religiously` and makes money off of these blurry photos and videos and eyewitness accounts, you've got a religion! I think Scientology is one of them - UFO and such.

Show-ponies are a new religion!
