[null and void]

Belief is an interesting human phenomenon, and it is very likely many who "believe" in alien visitation in all its varied storylines do not hold an equally strong religious belief.

Hmmm. Conservation of belief?

You only have enough for one? God? Country? Political party? Company? Space aliens?

Interesting...

--- "Conservation of belief?"

I did not use the phrase above. It is yours, as if to mount a straw man.

As with both belief and knowledge, both forms of proprositions -- plural for both -- are evident in any himan mind. One can believe in love, God, and much more, to include proposed explanations of unexplained. Quite in the same way that one can know many things.

Your "conservation of belief" is your phrase. Please feel free to debate it with yourself.
