Since I'm a non-believer, my feelings on religion is similar to that of aliens: I'm not discounting the possibilities that its real, but I've seen no evidence for it and see people picking and choosing what they attribute to their deity of choice. For example, every time something goes right, isn't god great? But when it goes wrong, its the persons fault. > "My experience was authentic, even though all those other ones are not." Yeah, I've had this conversation with a christian before, I asked how are they so sure they're right and the answer was because of their experience. When I told them that I've had the exact same conversation with the exact same answer with a muslim before too, they didn't believe me. Seems like a lot of mental gymnastics to me. You're right, the similarities to belief in alien visitations are definitely there.
