American Chronicle: Jesus in a Saucer: More Memes from Chronic Skepticism

American Chronicle: Jesus in a Saucer: More Memes from Chronic Skepticism:

"I recently wrote about a new “meme” pursued and disseminated with persistence by chronic skeptics; the idea that the term UFO really means aliens from outer space. (”A New Meme: We All Know UFO Really Means Aliens From Outer Space.”)
I’ve noticed another meme that is eagerly transmitted by anti-UFOists (and a few supposedly pro-UFO people) and that is ‘UFOs are/as a religion.’
While many of us UFO people are trying our best to put on end to the question (and all its variants) “Do you believe in UFOs?” the chronic skeptics continue to use the word “belief” as either a prefix or a suffix to UFO. Having done that, they move on to “UFOs” as a “religion.”"
