COTR Museia Series - Believing the Unbelievable
2025-12-17 18:30 - 20:00 | College of the Rockies Cranbrook Campus Lecture Theatre- Room 250, 2700 College Way, Cranbrook, Canada
Believing the Unbelievable: UFO Religions and the Human Search for Meaning
New religious movements have appeared throughout history as responses to moments when the world no longer seems coherent. They provide meaning, belonging, and guidance in periods of uncertainty. UFO religions represent one contemporary example of this broader pattern. From Raëlism to Heaven’s Gate, these groups illustrate how narratives of cosmic visitors emerge as frameworks for understanding human existence.
This Museia Talk explores UFO religions not as curiosities to dismiss, but as windows into the ways people construct meaning, identity, and hope in modern life. Audience members will leave with a deeper understanding of how extraordinary beliefs often reflect very ordinary human needs and how studying them reminds us that the search for meaning is something we all share.
