Maybe "millions upon millions" have "believed in God", but millions have actually seen UFOs. And a number of them have even been "abducted".
According to the first United Nations international statistics report on the UFO phenomena in 1978, five percent of all Americans, more than fifteen million people, claimed to have seen a UFO. The UFO statistics registered only 1.2 percent of these cases. Then, a USA Gallop poll in 1996 showed the number jumped dramatically to 12% (roughly thirty-six million citizens specifically in the United States) of people who claimed to have seen a UFO. The Global number was then added up to about 50,000,000 (million) people.
BTW: In the whole history of the earth it is estimated that there have been under 200,000,000,000 people world wide. Not quite "millions upon millions".
You make people miserable and there's nothing they can do about it, just like god.
