520 |a At one level, The X-Files is a science fiction program about alien visitors and FBI investigations of paranormal activities. At another level, it is one of the most sophisticated treatments of religion in the history of television drama. Its ability to interweave complex issues regarding institutional religion and practice is deserving of attention from researchers. Several episodes are analyzed in depth to uncover an arc of religious themes that parallel the plot development. Such themes deal with specific religious issues in ways that prime-time dramas seldom do. Why The X-Files is unique in its daringly serious treatment of religion is discussed.
