As ever, totally missing the point.

I am suggesting in the OP that they are all equally unprovable subjects of blind belief (at this point in time), so it is hypocritcal to laugh at one while subscribing to another.

Fair point, but you could say that about every single person who believes in any relegion and/or aliens.

Is it hypocritical for a scientist to discount 'god' yet believe in aliens? Is it hypocritical not to believe in Islam but to believe in Christianity.

You could even go as far as to say is it hypocritical to 'believe in' Oxygen, but not to believe in god.

Not at all.

Hypocrite: a person who acts in contradiction to his or her stated beliefs or feelings.
