Yes, Tom, aliens are our new "gods". Despite 2,000 years of Christianity, people still feel more at ease with numerous deities in charge of various things, rather than just one God does it all type.
And advanced beings coming from other worlds is a bit more "believable" to our modern technological society than the ethereal live on Mount Olympus gods of old.
I am convinced there is life beyond Earth, but as for so much of it seeming to visit us and either conducting weird experiments on us and our cows, or being heralded as our "saviors" and uplifters into a higher cosmic reality, that is something that has yet to be proven in any sort of serious, scientific way.
400 billion stars in the galaxy, with many billions of planets more, and we're the highlight of the Milky Way Tours? I have my sincere doubts.
