Zen might help. People have said that if aliens had any game we had, it'd be Go. If they had any religion we had, it'd be Zen, which focuses on the realization of the "nature of reality." Personally, I don't find anything "mystical" or especially "religiony" about the core "doctrine". That's why I call it the religion of the aliens. The core truth has that fundamental discoverable simplicity about it, and addresses the nature of this fear. The aliens won't have Jesus or Muhammed, but strip the incidental trappings on both sides, and they might have Zen, just like they might have Go.
