When most people think about religions, they tend to have in mind ancient traditions centered upon worship of a god or gods - but in the modern era, that format is no longer always true. Today, there are a number of religions which are focused not upon gods or other supernatural beings but, rather, aliens who visit us in their spaceships. Although they all have some similarities, they can be as different as traditional theistic religions - and their long-term influence could end up being as great.
