The other way around as in, we made contact with these intelligent beings and found out that the predominant religion in their planet is very compatible with Christianity, like it's basically the same thing. They talk about God having lived as one of them, they talk about the trinity, salvation, Heaven and Hell, etc. Would it make you doubt your position as atheists, or would it make you more open to exploring Christianity?
That would be super weird.
I'd say I didn't know why it was that way... but I'd sooner believe we were living in a simulation and the simulation is being run by Christians in the distant future, and this is a simulation of the past, than I'd actually believe that there was a supernatural being that lived outside the universe itself. Which is just completely incoherent for me.
An alternative belief would be that there is a supreme alien that is pranking the rest of the universe.
Or if it's just the one other planet with the same beliefs maybe they sent over an alien at 0.AD and Jesus was actually an alien from that planet. Maybe that would explain the miracles. Maybe turning water into wine is perfectly normal for that alien species
Maybe Jesus is an immortal alien that lives on that planet that they all worship, lol.
