If an alien landed on Earth, which religion would he choose?

Question

But you must know that where this alien comes from a solar system that is not religious at all. They only believe inthings they see - they are very scientific!

If you say that the Alien would not choose any religion because the Earth's religions are just for Earthlings, then which religion do you think the Alien would agree is the correct one and why?

Answer 1

None. After suitable scrutiny, he would decide that they are all bogus.

Answer 2

What a brilliant idea.

Aliens from another solar system spend an enormous amount of time and resources so they can come here and adopt one of our religions.
I think all the aliens could judge is that some religions are more daft than others, and none of them are worth much attention.

Why take an alien?
Why not look at yourself?
How likely are YOU to take up somebody else's religion??

Most likely, by the way, the alien would not submit himself to one of our fantasies, but start a religion in which he would be the god - and with sufficient technology, he'd have a good chance of lots of suckers falling for it, too. After all, look at the stories people today take for granted :)

Answer 3

Very good question, I'm sure he will choose Islam because all other religions concern only about man, Christianity believes God created Adam as his shape so aliens won't think of it, and so all other religions, but Islam states that Allah created the whole universe and all the creatures live in it, the Quran says that Allah created what we don't know. that could include the aliens
that's why I consider Islam as a universal religion and other religions are "local" religions
sorry for any one be offended

Answer 4

If an alien was technologically advanced enough to reach Earth he/she/it would be advanced enough to know better then to agree with any religion and the fact that we have religion here would probably scare the Alien back to his/her/it's peaceful home world.

Answer 5

I had a contactee experience in 1991 in which the aliens claimed to be atheists. Later in 2003, it turned out that they knew the whole score with regard to religion, and God, after all. I rid them from my life through prayer.

Answer 6

Aliens have been visiting this planet since the beginning.
all religions speak of gods in chariots of fire etc.
So God and other gods are aliens who came long ago and told man to worship them or be destroyed.We made religion after aliens - so it is the other way round.

Answer 7

None. There is no correct religion. All are contradictory and said alien is already a Bright - believing in a naturalistic world-view, free of supernatural and mystical elements (you answered your own question!)

Answer 8

Well if they were like the Asgard on Stargate SG-1... I'm sure they'd be Ásatrú. ;-)


Nah, in reality the aliens would either have their own religion or they would be atheists. They wouldn't convert, just like most humans wouldn't convert to an extraterrestrial religion.

Answer 9

if what you say is true why would you expect the alien to choose any religion ? none unless you consider atheism a religion ?

Answer 10

The alien would not be suffering from delusional mental disorder so he would not choose, he would offer zyprexa (use only as directed) as a cure.

Answer 11

Atheism, since they are very scientific, they would note that there is more proof that god doesn't exist then that he does. They would choose the more logical explanation.
