  • might be an atheist, I just don't believe in gods
I have an infinite number of belief systems cos there are an infinite number of things I don't believe in.

I respect your right to believe whatever you want. I don't have to respect your beliefs.

Such contextual information is always critical to proper data analysis. Life co-evolves with its environment, and so if we don’t know much about the environment on a planet, it’s hard to say whether a potential signal of life makes sense. This is difficult in the solar system and even more difficult for exoplanets, because we can only access them through distant observation.
Technology has (& is) moved forward, at least for now, we know we aren't the only planet or the only solar system (...or in The Only Galaxy...etc, etc).
