The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy is a book filled with the adventure of the last human, Arthur Dent, and Ford Perfect. Although this book doesn't state directly the prefernces of religion, it does have to deal with its bases. To even begin to get into the book you'd have to ignore the bases of moral realism and let your mind explore the galaxy as though we haven't ever been to space. In th book Arthur speaks of aliens and other life forms but that's only when he's under the influence. But in turn all that he speaks of is the truth. Athur's drunken faith in believing that are life forms watching them is what I feels allows him to be the chosen human to stay alive, when Earth is destroyed.
In correlation of my book I would ignore the speculation of other life from a drunk person. But on the basis of my faith in it, I do wonder and slightly believe that there may be other life forms superior to us.

So Arthur's alternate drunken ego belives that there is life on other planets other than earth. Is Arthur constantly always under the influence. Does his sober side ever have a chance to voice his opinions? And when you say that your book doesnt directly deal with religion but deals with its basis, what do you mean? Are you saying that believing in higher life forms is a religion in itself? I too agree that maybe there is other life forms other than us humans. I just cant believe out of all the other planets in our universe that we are the only ones functioning.
Arthur isn't much of a debater. He is one of the ackround people that gets over ran by society. But on the basis of religion, beliving in higher life forms is but isn't one in my opinion. Simply because I don;t feel you can make a foundation of a religion using the belief of aliens but yet we believe the Lord, God a savior above as the highest life form of all, so it's debatable.
