Talk:List of UFO religions

Falun Gong???
Some of these entries are very dubious indeed. For example, is the Church of the SubGenius a religion at all? And since they don't even believe in their own messiah and only say they do for a joke, does it matter what else they claim to believe in? But the most puzzling entry on this useless list is Falun Gong. If this is indeed a "UFO religion", then it's by far the largest such movement, and the only one likely to become a major world religion in the long term. But looking at your own quite lengthy article on Falun Gong to which this page links, I can find literally no mention at all of UFOs. If flying saucers are such a minor part of their belief-system that their entire religion can be described in detail without bothering to mention space aliens or UFOs even once, is it in any meaningful way a "UFO religion"? 86.144.183.66 (talk) 07:11, 11 December 2023 (UTC)


 * You raise a good point about the Church of the SubGenius. Religion in and of itself is a thing difficult to define (see Definition of religion), and I am not sure we are qualified to make such a distinction here, so whichever editor put it there likely put it there out of giving the benefit of the doubt.
 * As for the Falun Gong, there are a few sources I found about it being a religion with alien/UFO beliefs. Here is one that is fully accessible: https://www.baylor.edu/content/services/document.php?id=22523. You raise another good point, though, about the Falun Gong article mentioning nothing about it. I will probably go over there soon to add to it. Jacquesparker0 (talk) 07:43, 12 December 2023 (UTC)
