I know that sounds stupid but hear me out.

I remembered hearing about how the pentagon released information that UFOs are on the pentagons radar, with 3 ufo sightings by the government, and that random rock that looked like it might be a alien artifact. It may have been my christian upbringing and many alien movies that I get filled with severe anxiety and dread thinking about it.

I wanted to know what Atheists thought about topics like this. Im not talking about every ufo experience ever as evidence can be easliy false and hoaxes.

I was told growing up that aliens are demons who are here to draw people away from god. I also heard from random youtube vids that this is a sign of the end times or something. Obviously (hopefully) that isnt the case but im just so confused. Im filled with fear over a lot of things and Atheism always helped out when I had fears.

I dont know if this is the right place to discuss or not but i assumed it would open a debate (Given Hawkings opinions for example).

Anything helps

Thanks.

QUICK EDIT:
Thank you guys for posting. It helps me understand what others in my boat think about this. I also changed the title to fit the change.

I realized I made a mistake on my question. UFOs are “Unidentified and thus can be assumed as “Aliens/ Extra-terrestial Life”. But still I would like to know your opinions on it and how could it effect religion.

I researched about this and the study i found showed the Hinduism and Buddism wouldnt be effected while the Abrahamic faiths were the most affected. Thoughts?
