So the drone scare is the work of aliens stems from a decline in traditional religion like Christianity.

As Bader, a sociology professor, sees it, one of the main reasons behind the general American embrace of the strange and paranormal is the long-running and steady decline of religious institutions. Churches, he said, can often serve as a kind of dampener on paranormal beliefs: Part of the role of a denomination is to lay out a particular creed. That creed may be supernatural—God, after all, is beyond the realm of scientific proof—but institutional religious doctrine does not usually include any mentions of space aliens.

Now that fewer and fewer people attend religious services, “it’s common in surveys to find someone who says, ‘I believe Jesus is the one and only son of God, and also my house is haunted, and there might be a Bigfoot,’ ” Bader said. “People didn’t use to believe all those things. Churches would say, ‘Here is the correct package of supernatural beliefs you’re allowed to hold.’ ”

In recent years, faith has become more personal, idiosyncratic, and unpredictable. “UFOs and ghosts and psychic powers—as organized religion plummets, those are growing rapidly,” Bader said. “Once you no longer have your church telling you, ‘Here’s what you’re supposed to believe about the world,’ it frees you to explore other things.”

These changes in the American faith landscape help explain the public’s growing belief in the extraterrestrial—and presumably, the belief that the East Coast drones are exactly that.

But the problem is that these kinds of hysterias existed in the past when Christianity was strong. Like in medieval times when people saw women flying on brooms, or the 19th century phantom airship hysteria when thousands of people across the United States claimed to have observed mysterious airships.

Yes, that is a good point but I think the new “church” thing has become a mix of random priests and online conspiracy spreaders and petrol company tycoons (for the USA).

There has always been a desire to believe in the truth and humans realize that there is one version of the truth. They had to come together at the first council of Nicea to decide what the truth about Jesus was.
Throughout the years, the church(s) had to kill people that think differently or have a document that says something different. I’m sure that the church people have destroyed a lot of documents that didn’t fit into their belief system.
I have probably had conversations online with over 300 christians by now. Some of them think that christianity has been corrupted and that they are somehow believing in the original and correct interpretation of the Bible.
Some of them are not aware of how the Bible came into existence and they think Matthew, Mark, Luke, John wrote the gospels and that they are as reliable as their own parents.

The situation in the USA is interesting. I think it is the evangelists or televangelists along with various internet dudes that determine what to believe.
There is a large set of people who seem to be christian, anti-vax, anti-evolution, anti-science. Somehow, the idea that Donald is the second coming of Jesus has spread. They are all convinced that Joe Biden stole the election in Jan 2020 since their priests guaranteed to them that Donald is Jesus.
For a while, a lot of them believed that the government was going to put RFID chips under our skin.
A lot of them believed that you become magnetic when you take the COVID vaccine.
There is the 5G thing.
A large number of them have told me that christianity is not a religion. It is a relationship.
They all tend to be global warming deniers and that NASA faked the moon landing.
A bunch of them mention the Georgia Guidestones and that the government is going to reduce the population.
In 2020, 2021, 2022, they were telling me the lockdowns are permanent. A lot of them were fighting it by refusing to wear a mask.

It looked like some of them did not know what to believe about the virus. One priest said that the virus doesn’t do any harm. In one video, he says it doesn’t exist it is a hoax. In one video he says Fauci and China are working together to reduce the population.

When I mention that the jewish god is a space alien and that the sons of god came to earth means that they are space aliens, they all seem to resist that notion (the people I talk to).
They say that alien means something else. God means he is immaterial and outside this universe.
I tell them that god is made of whatever else and that he is not in this universe but he is in another universe.
The conversation stops there.

^^^^^I don’t believe in that stuff. I just present new ideas to people.
From what I observed, christians who believe in aliens are rare.
