It is not only the "theosophist" religions that have a theological
basis for denying human beings having landed on the Moon.
In addition, a minority of Hindus, who promote "Vedic science"
and argue that the "de-evolution" of human beings has been going
for the last few billion years also are very strong proponents of the
Moon Landing hoax claims. This position is based on what they
consider to be the impossibility for the Apollo astronauts to have
traveled to the Moon because of both physically or spiritual factors
that they argue are clearly explained in the "Vedas." Their
theological "arguments" against the Moon landings being real are
discussed in detail by a Hare Krishna web page, "Man On The
Moon–A Colossal Hoax that Cost Billions of Dollars" at;
http://krishna.org/man-on-the-moon-a-colossal-hoax-that-cost-billions-of-dollars/
For example, this web page states:
"The Vedic account of our planetary system is
already researched, concluded, and perfect. The
Vedas state that the moon is 800,000 miles
farther from the earth than the sun. Therefore,
even if we accept the modern calculation of 93
million miles as the distance from the earth to
the sun, how could the “astronauts” have traveled
to the moon–a distance of almost 94 million miles–
in only 91 hours (the alleged elapsed time of the
Apollo 11 moon trip)?"
Further down it, the above web page states:
"Another important reason why the manned moon
landing must be a hoax is that, according to the
Vedas, each planet has its particular standard of living
and atmosphere, and no one can transfer from one
planet to another without becoming properly qualified.
This means that if someone wants to go to Mars, for
instance, he has to give up his present gross material
body and acquire another one suitable for life on
that particular planet."
Other revealing web pages are:

The Moon Missions: Oh Ye of Little Faith
http://krishna.org/the-moon-missions-oh-ye-of-little-faith/
Moon Mission Web Pages

As in case of the antievolution fervor of various Young and Old
creationists, I personally suspect that a significant force behind
the arguments behind the claims that the Moon Landings were
a hoax is a religious one. I also suspect that unlike the creationist
antievolutionists, the promoters of the Moon Landing hoax have
been for the most part, but not always, been careful to hide their
religious motivations behind seemingly secular web sites. Of
course as in case of antievolution, there are also a number of
conspiracy fans, who for purely secular, nonreligious reasons,
advocate and promote the fiction about there having been a
Moon Landing hoax.
