Alien Question for Atheists

[polymath257]

Then I would assume their mode of consciousness was much like our own, complete with a tendency to project ‘out there’ products of consciousness that are actually
‘on board’.

You wouldn't find it a staggering coincidence that their story would be the same as ours? IE: the "son of God" becoming one of them, bringing a new faith (which is the same one we have), dying a horrible death for their sins, rising from the dead, the concept of the trinity as the father, son, and holy spirit, the belief in salvation, etc etc?

Not really. Death and resurrection of deities is pretty common in human religions. And triumvirates abound also.
