Not Demons. There is a better way to perceive the story.

The aliens are clearly not THE aliens. They are Naked, ffs. They are nothing more than biological Drones. Grunts engineered to a purpose. A slave army used for raids to capture other species.

What would be a Great way to keep a slave army in check? Make them water soluble.

If they act up, give them the hose.

I don't know what he intended, or if he thought about it this much. But I prefer this idea to demons.

The issue is that many (most?) Sci-fi nerds, myself included, are irreligious and find it a bit strange when the two mix.

That isn't necessarily a problem on its own because a character can be religious and still be a great character (obviously).

But when the plot kind of pulls that sci-fi rug away from underneath your feet and goes "boom, Jesus" (voice of Peter Griffin from Family Guy), it feels a little awkward.

It would, imo, have been better if the movie ended on some lingering question about our place and meaning in the universe, like Morgan Freeman's epilogue in War of the Worlds.
