Fundamentalist Christianity leads to anti-Christ thought and behavior. Thus it is wrong and not religion. This proves that Fundamentalist Christianity is not really Christian. QED

ET is enemy of Eastern Orthodox Church Creed

They found the one guy who's willing to claim there is no alien life in the universe based on what's in the Bible. I wonder how many interviews they had to go through to find him.
I would say that a fundamentalist can indeed live as a Christian, and also the biblical canon teaches us not to view ourselves as wise and therefore ends fundamentalism for those who like myself begin with fundamentalist discipline. This is not the case for some religions whose texts urge them to be fundamentalists, to see themselves as wiser than others and/or than outsiders. A fundamentalist Christian is in a slightly more advantageous position I think than a fundamentalist in another religion, because they have an escape key to leave their imprisoned state if only they can find it. That is a brickjective opinion.
Actually no, science is neutral through Methodological Naturalism cannot falsify any theory nor hypothesis beyond the nature of our physical existence.
Go for it!

If they are right, then we are wrong. Then this is not possible: it is against the creed. We came to contradiction, thus ET is enemy of the Creed.

That means only human beings can be correct? other beings (physical or nonphysical) must be wrong?

After the Second Comming the Popper's scientific criterion "science is refutable and can be demonstrated to be false" will be corrected following way: "science is confirmable"

This only means, that ET is enemy of the Creed.

Technically I should have qualified the atheism as "soft" atheism. In the sciences one acts as if god does not exist. One does not claim that he does not exist.

So it matters an indeterminate amount to ET?
The solipsist is said to be the ultimate skeptic. I suppose there are worst ways to end up.
Who was claiming atheism is scientific? Atheism is a choice to not invest belief into any God. For me, not having a good enough reason to believe in any particular God. So while you can say it's wrong for you it is not wrong for me.
Science only validates what is claimed. The only claim atheism makes is that someone lacks a belief in any God. Atheism is atheism by definition not through scientific validation. The definition being what it is, it is not anything under dispute.
Theories and explanations are very important in science. Theories in science can never be proved since one can never be 100% certain that a new empirical finding inconsistent with the theory will never be found.
Scientific theories must be potentially disconfirmable. If a theory can accommodate all possible results then it is not a scientific theory.
Scientific Method
So if it is confirmable, it is not science.
For example, I'm an atheist. Do I have any belief I accept about God being real, no. Atheism confirmed. No scientific theory about atheism is needed since it is easily confirmed.

I think it may have been the other way around. Or was your grammatical error purposeful?
So circular it bites you in the butt.

Not really. It is not an argument for atheism, merely an observation on how science is done. We keep hearing of "godless evolution" but all of the sciences are "godless" in that way.
So what is the ruling on your grammatical error? Purposeful, in which case it was a very odd joke, or not?
Well, the aliens might have different beliefs.
Or maybe some advanced aliens visited Earth once upon a time, and the people believed they were "gods" and built up a whole religion around it.
