The fundamental drivers of religion are the soothing answers it provides to life's most pressing questions. What happens to us when we die? Why are we here? What happened before we existed?
Mix some fundamental questions that even science has a hard time answering with answers that basically say that the most powerful force in the universe personally loves us and will make sure we never die but live forever in an even happier existence with all of our lost loved ones....yeah. Good luck competing with that. Aliens aren't going to fuck up that equation.

Well said. I see someone daily that is a pretty staunch "believer" and whenever I pose a question to her that challenges her notions of god/faith, she answers "God is just so big, I don't know... he's just SO big".
