 Our TOS has nothing to do with Religion.  Our greater TOS, which includes the Thumbnail Guidelines and the Child Image Guidelines, includes humanoid characters in all aspects of the TOS.  The aliens in question are, indeed, humanoid, and therefore considered the same as regular human characters.  

In our TOS, nudity simply means unclothed.  It has nothing at all to do with sexuality, religion, or anything else.  If a humanoid figure is unclothed, the flag needs to be set, and a cropped thumbnail provided.  We do not state that the enclosed image is pornographic, nor do we ascribe to the idea that all nudity is pornography.  The majority isn't.  However, we do have rules, and they need to be followed for everyone.  Sometimes, we don't catch them at first.  When we do, rather than bogging a member down with a warning for each occurrence, if it is the member's first "offense", we don't even issue a warning at all.  

It's not censorship.  We're not saying "you can't post this here at all".  We're saying, "Sure, post it!  But, here are the guidelines."  If it were censorship, we wouldn't allow it at all.
