24 August 2004Christopher Bader, a sociology professor at the conservative Baptist Baylor University, talks with Jeffrey Weiss, of The Dallas Morning News, about his recent study on people who believe they are UFO abductees or victims of religion-linked ritual abuse. Bader's study, which was recently published in The Journal for the Scientific Study of Religion, argues that belief in UFO abductions and in ritual abuse both include a large dose of faith, and that study of these groups is a way to understand how successful faiths develop. "What they have in common," Dr. Bader told Weiss, "is that they mostly follow the pattern found in other new religious movements."
