Aliens Adored: Raël's UFO Religion is a book by Susan J. Palmer, published in 2004 by Rutgers University Press. The book is an ethnography of Raëlism, a UFO religion that gained notoriety in the year 2000 for its claims that it had cloned a human being. Palmer, a sociologist of religion, had studied the Raëlians for over a decade, and had personally interviewed both members of the group and its founder, Raël. The book analyzes many aspects of the organization, including its leader, members, ethics and theology.
Aliens Adored received critical acclaim, with reviewers praising its analysis and its balanced treatment of the group, as well as its readability for both experts and non-experts.
