Why UFO Religions Are On The Rise

The idea of alien life, friendly or hostile, has inspired great works of science fiction. But also a number of religious movements. Religions like Raëlism, which state that God was an alien astronaut who cloned the first humans. Or Scientology, whose inner workings are subject to much secrecy and scrutiny. Then there are the cults like the infamous Heaven's Gate...
In this video, I want to investigate these so-called UFO religions. Where did they come from? What are their beliefs? And what do they teach us about how religions form and spread? Welcome to the faith of the future. Where spirituality and sci-fi collide.
Although they might sound a bit wacky, these UFO religions have become a genuine topic of academic study. In some ways, they aren’t so different to the mainstream faiths. Both emerge when one person or group claims to have obtained secret knowledge from Heaven. These UFO religions can be seen as a modern iteration of all this. Substituting gods and prophets with aliens and contactees.
Note: Remember, UFO means "Unidentified Flying Object". It could be anything! In modern parlance, however, it is often used to refer to aliens. just to avoid any confusion.
I had great fun making this, and in my excitement spoke far too close to the mic during my voiceover. Hence the many pops. Whoops! Will remember this for next time.

[@willgray1090]

10:23 I generally like Holchelaga's videos and find his pretty even keel tone to be refreshing but I would propose that saying Scientology and Heaven's Gate are comparable to religions like Christianity, Buddhism, Islam, Hinduism, or Judaism is dangerous. Scientology and Heaven's Gate are both cults, dangerous ones at that. The abusive practices of Scientology are well documented. Regardless of whether or not you believe in auditing, the cult like behavior they encourage on their practitioners is not healthy. Similarly, Heaven's Gate required members to cut off contact with their family and indoctrinated their members into committing suicide. Granted that there are dangerous cult offshoots of the mainstream religions, but they are exceptions to those religions. In that light, I'm sure there are many, many more UFO religions out there that are not cults and likewise hate the stigma that Scientology and Heaven's Gate has brought on them. It's those groups that are the more apt comparison mainstream faiths, rather than dangerous cults. I guess what I'm trying to say is: Jim Jones and the People's Temple is to Christianity, what Marshall Applewhite and Heaven's Gate is to UFO Relgions.

[@nivircescrittore8304]

The thing is: *today* the mainstream religions we have are more subdued and are not so wacky and cultish like those two, but are we sure this has always been the case? What if the way a religion becomes mainstream is first being super cultish and amassing power, and then after it has stablished itself, slowly become more PG so that it will spread better? I feel like we don't know enough about how religions are born to make a definite guess on this, which is why these UFO religions are interesting subjects to study in the first place. And, second, and perhaps most importantly, the Church of Scientology is known to be very sensitive to their public image and tends to pursue legal action against critics, as well as doing a lot of shady things to silence then, so I think it makes sense for Hochelaga to tiptoe around them when mentioning them.

[@theokra]

@@nivircescrittore8304 I disagree, some of the largest mainstream religions have been completely open with their texts and doctrines from the very beginning, Islam and Buddhism for example. Some religions were and still are secretive (to a varying extent) as they weren't supposed to be preached outside of their ethnicity/culture, like Judaism, Druze, Yazidis. The only example of a religion I can think of that started as a cult and then changed to become a more open religion is Christianity (and the various related forms of Gnosticism).

Because of it's unclear meaning, genealogy and the emic-etic divide, cult isn't really a helpful term and it's far better when dealing with a religiously inspired group's harmful, toxic or deadly behavior to simply describe it and let it speak in its own terms (Though of course what is included or omitted mean this still requires careful scrutiny).

Kind of related but you should check out people seeing white light when a near-death experience occurs. You can try to google it, or check it on youtube as well. It is a phenomenon and lots of people who experience them either become religious or have some altered perspective towards life. Because sometimes they see heaven, or hell or some paradise or talk to some entity. My father actually experienced this back then when he got rammed by a car and told me about it, I didn't care about it then, but grown up now, reading more and maturing and now turning a spiritual person after years of Atheism myself after realizations, it is kind of making sense.

As always a very entertaining video. As soon, as I saw a sun dog, it hit me: That's probably what inspired Elden Rings design.

Hello am from Pakistan I will like your video if u do not mind 💚🇵🇰

Sun Dogs, or Solar Halos, are huge in Christianity, especially eastern. Any time you see a halo, that is a Sun Dog. Christ has a 3 point solar halo.

I didn't know that Japan had ancient ufo stories. Give me all the delicious teachings 😍

Today we have fiction and scifi, and passionate hardcore fans. Who's to know if thats how all religions started.

[@adamc1966]

It is.

I didn't notice I thought occult and magic/witchcraft pagan based religions were on the rise

I dont see Ufo religion as any more rediculous then a guy who can heal you with a touch and walk on water.

[@AilileFelina]

I have a question. In a couple of videos, you show angels that are rings that are overlapping on each other. Could these be related to marriage bands/rings in some way? Maybe they're a ringed angel that is split between two people who should be united...? Are there typical items that we encounter (like wedding rings) that's meanings have been forgotten?

[@caramazzola2399]

I believe those depictions of angels predate the use of wedding rings

[@5lanediver]

yeah flying rods battling over germany in 1500’s is def a sun dog

[@WK-47]

Minor correction: the Sea Org refers to the so-called navy of the CoS, not a particular ship like the cruise liner you mentioned around 9:15.

[@duplicarus]

My only fear is that we come into contact with aliens now and they’re hostile. In science fiction humanity has already expanded across the stars, yet in reality we’re like babies who’ve just learned to walk still as far as space exploration is concerned. I honestly don’t think we’d survive

[@oskardirlewanger6083]

You’re confusing Hollywood movies with reality. Humans are as advanced as can be, there’s nowhere within billions of light years where anything else is capable of space travel.

These are the same people who will scold Christianity for miracles and say there’s “no proof” yet they believe in aliens!? What a joke 😂🤣

[@jcp1296]

I would assume they are not

[@rastusbojangles]

Im surprised you didnt mention Dr. Greer. pretty compelling until I realized it was just some new age religion. I lost my shit when he had someone off the coast fire flares into the air saying he was communicating to them to his little group.

I actually watched a video at some point debunking that early Japanese myth. source: I forgot but I bet finding the video won't be hard.

[@kenlipson8686]

You have the best content. Thank you for these videos

[@nicholaslienandjaja1815]

Would like to see the alleged ancient accounts of alien visitations being adapted into the MonsterVerse (my guess is that Monarch now has a branch that studies extraterrestrial encounters, and some of these sightings were contacts with the MonsterVerse’s version of the Xiliens, the Kilaaks, the M Space Hunter Nebula aliens, the Black Hole Planet 3 aliens, or the Vortaak).

[@nicholaslienandjaja1815]

Also, would like to see the Utsuro-bune incident adapted into an episode of Ultraman.

[@CVerse]

4:20 that’s literally the alien that Josuke encounters in Jojo Part 4

If you think about it it’s just Jesus with less steps. Jesus and Angels are described as celestial beings and it is noted Christianity is deeply symbolic.

just do psychedelics, thats the one and only way we will see and interact with aliens

[@KingSolomon1111]

Drugs are bad. Real mystics transcend their body using meditation while SOBER, unlike the junkies and hippies of the world who are dependent on external substances for their universal power. Is it really YOUR power if it can easily be taken away from you by the lack of drugs?

[@universeunlocked3382]

@@KingSolomon1111 lmao psychedelics aren't drugs it's plants , also people who does it doesn't Wana meditate for 20 years to achieve transcendance 🤣also transcendence naturally isn't guaranteed you could have wasted your life when you could have just taken psychedelic plants , also also , the fact that the plants are here on earth means it was meant for us hence it has been used for thousands of years . Also dude the point is to see aliens , this is the way 💁 , I've seen aliens so many times it's insane , and always they teach me something I never knew about myself or the planet I live on , also religion is bad lol so if you have one , you're already being sent to oblivion when you die 🥴 goodluck

[@KingSolomon1111]

Nice excuse to justify your drug abuse, junkie. So you're pretty much admitting that you're a lazy drug addict who wants the easy quick fix pill instead of putting in the hard work to actually achieve enlightenment, got it. Transcendence does not take that long. Enlightenment IS guaranteed ONLY IF you put in the hard work. If you're dedicated you can achieve it within 5 years sometimes faster, but I guess hard work is a foreign concept to people like you huh? For a guy that hates religion, you sound an awful lot like a crazy Christian who screams "Jesus Christ is the way!!! You're going to oblivion for believing what you do!!!!!" at people. Btw your logic of "it's here on earth therefore it must be good" is retarded. Guess what? Poison is naturally from the planet too. Are you gonna chug down a whole vial of it? Are you gonna go swim with sharks and run with lions too? That's pretty much what you're doing when you become dependent on psychedelic drugs. You open up your mind for anyone to come in and make it their home. It probably explains why you're so addicted to frying your brain on hallucinogens.

The possibility of Jesus being an alien sounds way more believable to be honest.
