Absorbing local pagan rituals to stay popular/relevant: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christianity_and_paganism#Pagan_influences_on_Christianity. I’m sure they would find a mental-gymnastics way to rationalise intelligent life on another planet and how it’s all part of God’s plan.
My underrated picks would be **Melancholia **(2011) about a planet passing unsettlingly close to the Earth during a wedding, and **Coherence **(2013) about a group of friends gathering for a dinner party on an evening when a comet is passing overhead.
Typing this out I realise they actually both sound quite similar but I promise you they are very, very different and worth a watch.
