Quote: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?
Since I've always held that the progress of a civilization happens in spite of religious belief and not because of it, I don't think it would change my views. That a lot of human civilizations made wonderful progress before Christianity was even a rumour has never made me think there might be something to worshipping Ishtar or Marduk that made more sense than being an atheist.
