Meh. The new-age ancient aliens thing has more in common with a religion than not.
The other big world religions that the franchise has not done a movie around yet are Buddhism and Islam. They may have stayed away from those for political/commercial reasons.
They are different universes but I don't think the Iron Man movies (independent of the rest of the Marvel comic world) are any farther from reality than Indy. That scene in Iron Man#1 happened in a context where it was pretty stupid-impossible, just like Indy's fridge. We excused it more readily when Tony Stark did it because we liked the movie better on the whole.
Doesn't matter. It's still aliens with technology vs actual divine magic.
Doesn't have to be a major religion. Also, plenty of artifacts related to the bible.
Of course they are equally far from reality because both are fictional movies. But Superheroes and Serial-type adventurers are simply different genres with different rules. And when you get down to it, at least for me, it's simply more believable that Tony Stark built a protective suit with padding and it actually, you know...protected him.

Technically interdimensional beings would be alien.
